Thanks for the help, guys.  Rereading Bob's book I see now where the 

Avionics ground bus does tie to the main ground either with the 

three 20 gauge or two 14 gauge wires.



Won't see you at Galesburg this year Bob, but maybe in '12.



I'd sure like to use the LR3C-14 after reading about it (besides I 

already bought one!) as it looks like an overall simpler 

installation and comes complete with the OV protection and low voltage warning.


	


   That was the design goal for the full line of

   B&C alternator controllers. Bill decided that

   if a B&C regulator was going to be used that it

   include LV warning and OV management. The

   $200+ gizmo is three products in one box

   already wired up to work together. It was

   a descendant of an idea I offered to Cessna

   and Beech both back in the 80's . . . but was

   not to be until the OBAM aircraft market

   matured.



   The LR3 will work with the JASCO alternator

   just fine. Unlike generators, alternators are

   exceedingly tolerant of variability in the

   regulation transfer function. I don't think

   I've ever encountered an alternator from 40 to

   125A that wouldn't work with about any regulator

   I drug off the shelf.

Thanks, Bob.  Your book sure takes alot of the mystery out of the wiring process - I'm already on my second highlighter!
