1. Alternators and Master Cutout Switches (score: 1): Author: "Steve Benford Jr." <sbracing@execpc.com>; Date: Wed, 7 May 2003 08:38:23 -0400; Is it possible to wire in a master cutout switch that will shut down the electrical power completely? I know there are master cutout switches designed for use with alternators. How are these wired i; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00054.html (7,745 bytes)
2. RE: Alternators and Master Cutout Switches (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Wed, 7 May 2003 07:21:34 -0700; Most modern-day electronics are designed to handle reasonable faults--losing power suddenly is certainly a reasonable fault. Really all you need is to open the output wire of the alternator and open; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00055.html (8,718 bytes)
3. RE: Alternators and Master Cutout Switches (score: 1): Author: "Randall Young" <ryoung@navcomtech.com>; Date: Wed, 7 May 2003 09:23:31 -0700; Bill, I beg to differ. All modern manufacturers warn against doing this very thing, because if the alternator is running at full output, the regulator cannot shut it down fast enough to avoid a very; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00057.html (9,263 bytes)

RE: Alternators and Master Cutout Switches (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Wed, 7 May 2003 15:28:29 -0700; I suppose it makes sense, but I remember an SAE paper talking about reliability of internal regulators for alternators that showed a maximum voltage of 140V for a disconnect fault from 6000 rpm that; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00075.html (11,665 bytes)

Open circuit on an arc welder is only 30-40 volts. No argument there. For the alternators I've had apart, there is nothing inter; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00079.html (8,703 bytes)

Re: Alternators and Master Cutout Switches (score: 1): Author: Tony Drews <tony@tonydrews.com>; Date: Wed, 07 May 2003 20:07:13 -0500; I'm going to offer a little different discussion on this issue. I've got a kill switch with alternator contacts. I've used it to shut off the motor exactly once - to verify it worked right. I always; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00081.html (9,610 bytes)
7. RE: Alternators and Master Cutout Switches (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Wed, 7 May 2003 21:54:51 -0700; Actually I was talking about alternators with an internal regulator with the concern being toasting the regulator. Old-style external regulator alternators are easier to interrupt--you can open the f; /html/fot/2003-05/msg00088.html (10,933 bytes)
