Bob, my ammeter has an internal shunt (VDO gauge). This may be a dumb question but... Is there any way to get away from running the heavy B-lead cable thru the firewall to the ammeter and then back thru the firewall to the current limiter and starter contactor?

The second logical question, I guess, is this: is it unwise to hang the integrity of my alternator’s output on the innards of a cheap gauge, or is a shunt a shunt? This didn’t occur to me when I bought the gauges.

BTW, my alternator has an internal regulator so I am incorporating your interim schematic that puts a Crowbar Contactor in the B-lead to unload the alternator if the crowbar trips the circuit breaker.

Thanks for all your help... :=))
