Re: Master Solenoid
I noticed a reference in the (excellent) Europa Flyer which I just received
that the use of an aircraft type battery contactor (relay type battery
isolator) is not recommended as the standard Rotax alternator does not have
enough output to support the coil current.
My question is, is an 'aircraft type battery contactor (relay type battery
isolator)' the same as a master solenoid. It sounds the same but can't
believe the alternator cannot cope. The Europa manual suggests a master
solenoid draws about 1 amp so should not be a problem.
... you can tell I wired up my master solenoid this last weekend ...
Comments?
