 Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 6:07 am Post subject: Rotax 914 regulator mounting location |
 |
|
I am trying to decide where to mount the regulator in my 914
installation. I hear these regulators fail if you draw more than 14 amps
or so, possibly due to heat? Mine will be used as a backup, switched
off, unless the IRalternator I have mounted on the vacpump pad fails.
Has anyone mounted it in the air intake area near the air filter? I am
thinking of bolting it to the passenger foot well front in the air
intake plenum. Seems like it would get cool air,and maybe some heat sink
advantage from contact with the aluminum CD6.
It would be easier to just put it on top of a foot well. Anyone have any
advice?
Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you take special care to keep the water out of the wiring, it looks like a good idea to me. I've a vacpump generator as well. Charges nicely, at 2500 rpm ore more. That's kind of a handicap during warm up or long taxi runs. That's one of the reasons for me to have dual independant charger/battery systems. Now there are 2 mainswitches to forget 
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
