| Subject: | Powermate V's B&C LR3C-14 |
Hi gang
working on my Elec system for my Jab 3300.
The alt on the Jab outputs around 20Amp ( so they say) and a lot of people don't
like the standard Jab regulator.
I was thinking of replacing the jab regulator with either the Aussie Powermate
or the B&C LR3C-14 regulators.
The Powermate is only good for 8 amps, I don't really understand since the Jab
Alt is around 20 amps will this damage it and I will need more than 8 amps ability
as I will be flying at night.
>From B&C , the LR3C operates as a quiet, linear regulator, generating no audio
or radio noise (in contrast to switching-type regulators). Second, it provides
a vital safeguard for your aircraft electrical system with a solid-state, crowbar
over voltage protection circuit. And third, the LR3C Controller functions
as an important low-voltage monitoring and warning system.
I like the crowbar system and the low voltage warning are also a good Idea. but
I cannot find out how many amps this reg is good for as it only talks about
a 5 amp CB .??
Am I mixing apples and oranges with all this Amp stuff on the regulators.
I know with all the stuff running I will almost need the full 20 amps at night.
So which one is best suited and why?
thanks
Chris

One picture is worth a thousand words. Fatwire is to be connected in roughly the
same way as hydraulic hose.
Think electricity instead of fluid and See: http://www.hydraulicspneumatics.com/200/FPE/Conductors/Article/True/6418/Conductors

An LR3C regulator is for WOUND FIELD, automotive alternators.
It is NOT a replacement for RECTIFIER/REGULATORS appropriate
to PERMANENT MAGNET alternators.

What's the service history on the stock regulator?

thanks Bob
I knew I did not fully understand it. so the PMR1C-14 would best suit my needs
along with a crow bar circuit and low voltage warning system
Here in Australia a lot of people have ditched the std Kabota tractor Regulator
supplied with the Jab engine as they only tend to last 6 months .( although some
have lasted years). if you have any elec problem's, the first step is to chuck
the old reg and buy another one and also carry a spare on fly aways. Or
use a Powermate or some other product that meets your needs
Thanks
Chris

Consider one of the John Deere tractor regulators
like the AM101406. These are heavy duty critters with
hefty heat sinks.

Thanks, guys :-)
I ended up going with the cable. Cut the longer piece and took it to the hardware
store where they crimped it for nothing. For good measure, I soldered the ends
when I got it home. Fits nice with a good arc to it.
