Hi Bob,



I was just curious if you had had any time to explore any of Plane-Power's 

internally regulated alternators on that fancy alternator stand?



Thanks,

 I'm pleased to inform the List that I've already received

 a response to an inquiry I mailed to Steve Klodd at Plane Power

 this morning.



 A copy of the exchange has been posted at:



 http://www.aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Alternators/Plane_Power/70129A_Plane-Power_SKlodd.pdf



 In a nutshell, Steve tells us that the 5A breaker illustrated in

 their wiring diagram at . . .



 http://plane-power.com/images/AL12_EI70%20Wiring.pdf



 . . . does carry field excitation current. Further, the

 OV protection module does pull down on this breaker to

 "crowbar" it open and bring a misbehaving alternator

 to heel.



 Further, this information confirms that operating the

 "Alternator Field" switch provides any-time, any

 conditions, any-reason, zero-risk ON/OFF control of

 the alternator which is consistent with conventions

 adopted for engine driven power sources on aircraft

 since day one.



 I'm pleased to make Steve's acquaintance and will

 endeavor to expand on this initiative. I'm equally

 pleased to know that my this particular product would

 live and operate happily in any system I would craft.

 I confidently endorse Plane-Power's operating philosophy

 for this product.

       Bob . . .

  No. My duties with an ageing father in Medicine Lodge, putting

  down new hardwood floors on my house and needs of my

  new clients (out of town 4 days last week and 3 days next

  week) have push my drive-stand project back into the corner.



  Actually, I have no particular plans to test Plane-Power's

  products. They are wired exactly the same architecture

  and alternator control philosophy that you would get if

  if you did a B&C LR-3 installation on an externally

  regulated alternator . . . or figure Z-11 from the book.



  I intend to explore the energy questions on alternators

  in general with a goal of achieving positive on/off, any time,

  any conditions control of an internally regulated alternator

  that is NOT modified per the Plane Power manufacturing

  philosophy. I.e. off the shelf automotive.



  I can deduce no reason to be skeptical of Plane Power's

  product performance claims.
