I would like to be able to shut it down in case the regulator goes crazy and is over charging or under charging. It is a NipponDenso with three terminals. The two together is 12 v from the battery and a light bulb on the other. The larger terminal is for the output to the load / battery. I am looking for a 50 amp circuit breaker to install between the alternator and the load / battery. Steinair does not show a 50 amp breaker or shunts I also want to know if I need to switch the 12 v. sense line or the light bulb line to the alternator. We put it on a test bench at a friends auto battery / generator shop and it did not put out voltage with out the light circuit on. So I do not know if it will work with out the light circuit but I do not want to install one unless it is required. Will the shunt that came with the firewall forward kit for the Jabiru 3300 with the 16 amp permanent magnet alternator work with the forty amp alternator. I really could use some help on developing a working wiring diagram and the proper components. I hate to let the smoke out of more stuff.

Consider this one . . . Emacs! I would like to be able to shut it down in case the regulator goes crazy and is over charging or under charging. It is a NipponDenso with three terminals. The two together is 12 v from the battery and a light bulb on the other. The larger terminal is for the output to the load / battery. This will do that. I am looking for a 50 amp circuit breaker to install between the alternator and the load / battery. Steinair does not show a 50 amp breaker or shunts Use a 40A 'current limiter' (fat fuse) at the BAT terminal of the starter contactor. See http://www.bandc.biz/anlcurrentlimiters40athrough130a.aspx I also want to know if I need to switch the 12 v. sense line or the light bulb line to the alternator. We put it on a test bench at a friends auto battery / generator shop and it did not put out voltage with out the light circuit on. So I do not know if it will work with out the light circuit but I do not want to install one unless it is required. Hook the LIGHT terminal to the IGN terminal with a 150 Ohm, 1 Watt resistor . . . Will the shunt that came with the firewall forward kit for the Jabiru 3300 with the 16 amp permanent magnet alternator work with the forty amp alternator. I really could use some help on developing a working wiring diagram and the proper components. I hate to let the smoke out of more stuff. Does the shunt have any markings on it? What kind of instrument displays current sensed by the shunt? Bob . . . ----------------------------- Bob Nuckolls AeroElectric Connection P.O.
