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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:57:27 PM PST US From: Robert L Nuckolls III Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Alternator At 03:22 PM 5/13/2015, you wrote: >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. 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. > 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??

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. >Any suggestions on where to purchase small quantities of aircraft >grade wire ( #8 ) and a quality 150 ohm 1 watt resistor. 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!

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.
