| Subject: | Electrical Newbie Question |
I have a 3300A and am planning the electrical system for my Zodiac XL. I've looked
at what others have done and absorbed much, but still have questions. I
wish to keep things as simple as possible so hopefully you'll share your ideas
with me.
Alternator / Regulator - I note that the Jabiru wiring diagram shows an unfused
#10 to wire from battery to regulator (red wire) and an unfused #16 to the main
bus (yellow wire.)
What I would like suggestions on is the best way to disconnect the alternator from
the main bus in the event that I need to run soley on battery power due to
a failure of some type. Would a switch on the yellow wire suffice or do I need
to break the red wire as well? Any recommendations as to fusing?
Tim

Tim,
Because your specifics are related to other issues in your system design as
a whole (and Jabiru's diagrams are not the last word) I'd highly recommend
that you get a copy of _The Aerolectric Connection_ by Bob Nuckolls, from
http:/aeroelectric.com It will answer many of your questions, and has
numerous well thought out sample wiring schematics for whole systems, as
well as specialized subsystems (ground power, aux. batteries, various
protection circuits, etc.) It's only $20, or if you like to read things on
your screen, you can download a PDF of the whole thing for free.
