I know there's been a lot of discussion about OV protection, but I'm wondering if anyone has come up with OV protection for the Van's internal regulated alternator? I'm hesitant to connect my expensive panel with out it.

 Thanks,

 Sam Marlow

Sam, if it is a PLANE POWER altenator that Van's  sold you, then you have nothing to worry about if installed  properly..

I'm not at the hangar, so I'm not sure of the brand, but it came with the RV10 firewall forward kit.

Sam,

        If your not real sure about the alternator, AND if you have not

hooked up the Van's unit and its in its original box, Van will take it

back and you can go to the "Plane Power"  60A unit that has a built in OV

protection module.  I traded mine and the Plane Power alternator looks

real nice.  I have not run it yet but this summer it will be flying.  Bob

Nuckols has talked with the people at PP and is satisfied that the OV

unit will work as advertised.  It trips the field current and the

alternator goes dead.  That is what you want.

I already installed it, and almost ready to fly. I'm just a bit to 

cautious I guess.

Call  them and ask? If they don't provide it, there are products out there with  internal regulators that DO provide overload protection. Why pack extra  equipment? The only thing you will need after that is a dashboard indicator.  Perhaps Bob has a diagram for wiring an indicator light from an alternator  with  built in OV protection.

I didn’t specify, because I thought it was replaced with the PP unit as standard.  When my FWF kit came I found out that the stock alternator is the “Ford” one that is so endearing to the list… I’m a ways from flying so haven’t sent it back yet.  Will decide exactly how to proceed later.

Van’ sells the PlanePower 60-amp alternator for $375  

60 amp Alternator and Kit w/OV protection 

 Part Number = ES ALTERNATOR DELUXE

 Price = $375.00

   

Their standard 60-amp is $270  

Complete Alternator Kit 60 AMP

 Part Number = ES ALTERNATOR 60A KIT

 Price = $270.00  

   

Just return the one you have and upgrade for an additional $105 (I too believed the PP unit was standard)
