Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 2:14 pm Post subject: Regulator How Hot

I am planning to use the SD-20 as a back up power source, I have created an Electronic Equipment Bay out of the lower portion of the RV-8A forward baggage area.  My battery is there, Hot battery bus and ground tabs.  I have also installed the regulator for also SD-20 in this compartment. 



A friend asked how hot will that stuff get and I did not have an answer.  The SD-20 regulator has a set point below normal bus voltage so it should only come on if the main alternator goes bad or is turned off, so with the regulator essentially at idle will it produce much heat, at the same token if operating on standby alternator, how hot will the regulator get.



Thanks for any help.
