Bob,
Thank you very much.
You answered a lot of my many questions.
I will be ordering the 40 amp current limiter and mounting base immediately.
My friend at the auto battery / generator shop said I should not shut down the
alternator under load. I do not expect to do that but was wondering if it became
necessary would turning off the ign line to it shut it down in an emergency??
I know I can shut it down with the solenoid but I would also loose battery
power which would shut down radio, EFIS & EMS.
Any suggestions on where to purchase small quantities of aircraft grade wire (
#8 ) and a quality 150 ohm 1 watt resistor.
Many Thanks to all that responded
Bobby

If the alternator has been re-manufactured by a
reputable company, turning it off under load represents
no hazard. See the chapter on Engine Drive Power Sources
when you book arrives.

No, the switch I show is the B&C S700-2-10, three position
switch that emulates the split rocker switch in many TC
aircraft. You move the switch down one notch to turn off
the alternator only . . . this leaves the battery on until you
move the switch fully down.

The resistor will come with your book/cd. Did B&C fix
you up on wire? Here's an update on the alternator
wiring showing the resistor installation.
Emacs!

This is a set of follow-up questions for Bob Nuckolls. I
performed the Jabiru alternator modification on my Jab 3300 to put the
two windings in series but have not run the engine in this configuration
yet. Were you able to come up with a Rectifier/Regulator solution? I
am hesitant to try to restore the original configuration of the wiring
for fear of causing greater electrical problems, and would rather not
increase the aircraft empty weight by mounting an automotive type
alternator.
If it is advisable to try to restore the original configuration,
is there a coating readily available to help maintain the insulation of
the coil wires?
Thanks for your interest on this topic, I always appreciate a
helping hand.
