Hi Bob and all,
About 13 years ago during the build of our project, I had the opportunity to conduct some experiments with the Rotax 914 alternator & voltage regulator.
We discovered that the Rotax voltage regulator doesn't start delivering energy unless it is subject to some voltage from the battery or capacitor.
My buddy Jerome (he is the expert) made an electrical analysis of the performance of the voltage regulator. He also assessed the thermal behavior of the regulator with his students.
I published some info on Contrails !

Our MCR 4S four seater - wired as per the 'Connection philosophy - is still going strong after 11 years of service.
FWIW,

Best regards,
Gilles
