(messydeer) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:02:09 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Powermate V's B&C LR3C-14 From: "chris Sinfield" 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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=275031#275031 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:16:48 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Can a 4awg cable be too short? From: "Eric M. Jones" One picture is worth a thousand words. Fatwire is to be connected in roughly the same way as hydraulic hose.

An LR3C regulator is for WOUND FIELD, automotive alternators. It is NOT a replacement for RECTIFIER/REGULATORS appropriate to PERMANENT MAGNET alternators. >So which one is best suited and why? What's the service history on the stock regulator?

These are heavy duty critters with hefty heat sinks. http://tinyurl.com/yarwkv3 Bob . . . --------------------------------------- ( It's MATRONICS FUND RAISER MONTH! ) ( Do your part to keep this marvelous ) ( tool sharp and available to all our ) ( brothers in the OBAM aviation ) ( community. ) --------------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:09:56 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Can a 4awg cable be too short? From: "messydeer" 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. -------- Dan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=275122#275122 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
