| Subject: | Alternator without internal regulator |
New to the forum. My alternator is on the blink and needs to be replaced.
I read Aero Electric and want to go with an alternator with external
regulator. I would be adding an OV module. From my understanding if the
alternator is taken off line in flight by the OV module you can destroy the
alternator, but maybe it doesn't matter since the regulator failed and the
alternator needs to be replaced anyways. I wouldn't be opposed to using an
internal regulator if someone can explain.
If I can get a reliable alternator and add the ext. regulator and OV
protection and spend $200, why pay $600 for an aircraft alternator? I know
most alternators have internal regulators but don't know any that have
external. Google search for alternators isn't very good plus I wouldn't
know what size would fit. Also I saw Aircraft Spruce sells B&C OV modules
for $50 and I've seen others for much less, $10, but don't know if it's an
equal to B&C OV module?
So if someone can direct me to an alternator, external regulator and OV
module that would be great. 50A alternator would be plenty. I don't know
if there is a 50 or 60A on there now but there is a 35A breaker and I've
never had it pop until recently when the alternator acted up.
Thanks,
Daren

Hi Daren,
The builder used a nippondenso, 14684 55 amp with internal reg. on my rv. I
replaced it from parts source here in canada with a 14824 couple of years
ago for not much over $100 canadian. I believe autozone has them but under
the old 14684 number. I think they originally were for a 87 suzuki.
I can't comment as to whether or not it would fit your aircraft, but if you
have the old one off you could take it to the store and compare with the
new one.
I have over 1400 hours on aircraft, no electrical problems.....but with
heat bearings and brushes may need to be done every 500-1000 hours. Hope
this helps.
Gary
