Hi All,
I have been wondering if an over voltage protection circuit is widely used
in the Europa community. I have been recently reading on the Aeroelectric
forum of the ups and downs of it, as well as competing designs. It is a
little difficult to take the good ideas of many and the requirements of
Rotax and graft them all together to make a reliable and safe design and
know that it will work without equipment damage when called upon. (whew what
a run on sentence) I was thinking that if I used Eric Jones' overvoltage
module, that is "more polite" as he puts it, meaning not putting a direct
short on the buss to trip a breaker, and incorperating it into something
similar to Bob's newer Z16 schematic that is for the Rotax, it might be the
ideal situation.
Could one just forget all this and depend on the fuses in the diagram as per
Europa?
