Hi Mike

I think the logic is a major current drain on your alternator that does not
die down after a short period of time indicates a possible BUS fault, and
that is one you would not want to reset a CB for anyway so a slow blow fuse
will not be a problem - when it blows you'll need to be landing soon anyway
!

Alt output protection is best done with removing the field (such as by a
crow bar overvoltage protection cct and a smaller (5A?) CB)

must have missed that in the aeroelectric book, so its not a fuse symbol
they show, have to look that up tonight

thanks

Hi Mike

I think it's suggesting a non resetable current limiter (as below with
base)

hi all

so on my wiring diagram and on aeroelectric examples a fuse or circuit
breaker is shown between alternator b lead and the starter contactor,

this connection is with say 8 or 6 awg cable

how is the fuse or in my case a circuit breaker connected to this big wire,
the attach screws on the cb are way to small fit the terminal size on a 6 or
8 awg wire ?? perhaps a patch piece of metal ??

thanks
