Dang!

  

 I had not seen Rev 11 of the Z drawings. I  will incorporate this into my dual alternator schematic. The internal  Rotax alternator will be used as an auxillary, which means the electricity  that it generates will be absorbed by the 22mF capacitor unless the 40amp  eternal regulator fails. Am I right?

Vaughn,



I don't think that's precisely right..  Whichever alternator has a

regulator with the highest setpoint voltage (it's unlikely the setpoints

will be exactly equal) will provide all of the system power up to 100% of

the current it's capable of at that voltage.  The other alternator will

only deliver power to the system when the system voltage drops below that

alternator's setpoint voltage.



I gather the Rotax alternator is actually a permanent magnet dynamo.. 

Anytime the system voltage is above the regulator setpoint, the

regulator's connection between the dynamo output and the buss is opened

(gated off).  The AC voltage seen on the output of the dynamo will rise to

some peak value and remain there (50V?).  I don't think any capacitor is

involved.

Regards,



Matt-

    Figure Z-11 is a single alternator system. If you want to combine

    a robust belt driven alternator with a permanent magnet backup

    (like the 18A machine on the Rotax) consider Z-13/8.



    The latest revisions of all the Z-drawings is available from

    the website at

  Ooops. I missed the earlier posting with power distribution

  diagram. Ignore the earlier post on this thread.

have attempted to incorporate the new rev 11  rotax alternator system into my dual alt system, as Mike Gregory suggested. PDF  file attached. I have also incorporated several changes made by list members  because they made too much sense to ignore. BOB, does this give me security in  the air. Thank you all.
