Hello,

  

 I don't want to start a IR/non IR  alternator war here but I have a question.

  

  I am going to be using the ND 55 (or at  least it is the Van's 60 Amp model and it is already on order) and I don't want  to use the over voltage protection. I don't think it is necessary and I can't  figure out where to install another one of the huge  contactors.

  

  I am following the Z-11 system. I  was wondering if I were to just by pass the part on the drawing for the over  voltage and wire the Number 4 contact directly to the F terminal on the  Alternator and the wire from the Number 2 terminal to the Battery contactor  would that work.

  

 Would installing the  crow bar O.V.  protect module after the 5 amp pull able fuse offer any advantages if I don't  install the battery disconnect contactor?

   At the present time, there is no one-size-fits-all ov protection

   scheme available for internally regulated alternators. I have

   taken possession of a 10 hp alternator drive stand that needs

   some serious attention before I can use it for any new investigations

   or development work. However, know that a technique has been

   devised and will be turned into real product sometime this year.

   Further, the device is easily added to any existing alternator

   installation. I'll suggest you proceed with your plans while

   bypassing the ov protection and control issues. We'll fill this

   box in later.

Bob,



Thank you for a practical answer. I will keep looking for this new technique 

and product that you speak of.



Mike
