I'm tallying up another order to B&C as I build the bones of Z-13/8 and came up with this question: Will the B&C LR3C controller (which functions as a all-in-one regulator, over-voltage protection and low-voltage warning) work with Z-13/8? I ask because the tech sheet says the LR3C only works with "Type B" alternator systems, which I think means the regulator sits between the bus and the alternator. Looking at Z-13/8, it appears as if it is designed for a "Type A" alternator whereby the alternator output (the B lead) gets sent directly to the bus. It may be that I'm mixed up and they are referring to need to have the field line run from the bus, thru the regulator and then to the alternator. Anyone successfully using the LR3C controller with Z-13/8? Comments, corrections and suggestions encouraged...

Sure

LR3 series regulators are designed to work with
any, wound field, externally regulated alternator
wherein one field brush is permanently connected
to ground (type B). See:

http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/External_Regulator.jpg

Any B&C alternator other than permanent magnet
devices are type B. Virtually all alternators
on type certificated aircraft are type B.

Type A connection is found on INTERNALLY regulated
alternators and feature one field brush connected
to the alternator output or B-terminal are
conventionally called type A. See:

http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/Internal_Regulator.jpg

This is the most popular convention for the vast
majority of automotive alternators.
