1080p mode. This was a test video in low light conditions. I was learning t

| Subject: | Over voltage module mounting failure - Plane Powere Alternator |
I believe this issue may have been reported before.
I have an early model PlanePower 60A internally regulated alternator on
my RV-10. The last time the cowl was removed for an oil change I noticed
that the externally mounted overvoltage module mounting had failed and
the module was hanging loose by it's single wire. The single small screw
attaching the module was attached very close to the edge of another
opening in the rear sheet metal cover on the alternator. The module is
an integral part of a tab extending from the bottom of the module. In my
opinion this invoked a "tuning fork" effect amplifying vibration and
cracking the sheet metal cover. (Later versions of this alternator have
the overvoltage protection mounted internally)
After consulting PlanePower, the module was remounted to an area with
more edge distance and also bedded in RTV to prevent vibration.
