    Subject: Over-voltage relay
    I have a CJ with a Delco 24V, 40A, alternator with integral voltage regulator on it. The system doesn't have any over voltage protection. Does anyone have an idea of what relay I should install? Thanks Kelley

    It is not that simple......I am sure if you look in the list archive, you will find Mark Bitterlich has done some very nice posts on the value of and design of a crowbar overvoltage protection circuit. Basically, you need a circuit that detects the overvoltage at a certain setpoint and opens the field to the alternator and keeps it open. No field voltage, no voltage out of the alternator. Here is a useful link: http://www.gatm.com/flying/electrical/phase_iv.html Another option is to scrap the system you have and install a B&C system (system means, alternator, voltage regulator/protection, proper pinion gear, proper mounting plate for the alternator) that provides all the protection you may want or need. As you read in the above link, B&C has incorporated many safety features in their design. They also include a shear coupler between the engine drive gear and the alternator. In the case of an alternator bearing failure, the shear coupler fails instead of the pinion gear inside your engine. Happy flying, Craig W.

    Why would this system=C2-be any different than an over volt system on Ces snas, Mooneys, Pipers, etc? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Winkelmann" <capav8r@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2009 2:05:00 PM GMT -06:00 Central America Subject: Yak-List: Re: Over-voltage relay It is not that simple......I am sure if you look in the list archive, you w ill find Mark Bitterlich has done some very nice posts on the value of and design of a crowbar overvoltage protection circuit. =C2-Basically, you ne ed a circuit that detects the overvoltage at a certain setpoint and opens t he field to the alternator and keeps it open. =C2-No field voltage, no vo ltage out of the alternator.

    While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc. Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan ' An old MSgt. sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? ' When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?' 'Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.' 'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the cockpit.' 'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member, 'We No Longer Call It The Cockpit' 'It's The Box Office.' Quote of the day: 'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'
