Hi Bob. I’ve read the article describing modifying a Nipon-Denso internally regulated alternator to add over-voltage protection, leaving the internal regulator intact. My guess is this is essentially the same thing that Plane Power does with their alternators. You wrote a brief pre-amble to the article wherein you said you would publish feedback received from others who tried the mod. What if any reports have you received? While the technique does not give 100% control to the pilot to have absolute control over the alternator as you recommend in your book, can you describe a failure mode that would not be handled by the described configuration? The mod, seems to be pretty simple and an elegant solution to the over-voltage problem, but I don’t know what I don’t know. I guess my question really boils down to what unplanned for excitement/surprise/adrenaline rush (insert your own adjective) could be avoided if I went with an externally regulated alternator with overvoltage protection. Thanks very much for your help and insight to us electrically challenged newbies.

If anyone has successfully assumed this task, they've
not made be aware of it. Actually, the Plane Power
configuration does offer any time, any conditions, on/off
control of the alternator. There's no reason why a DIY
effort could not be crafted to accomplish the same thing.
But I'm sorry to report that I'm unaware of anyone
doing this task for their project.
