Hi Group I have a Rotax 914 with internal generator controlled by a B&C AVC1 regulator and a B&C SD20S alternator controlled by a B&C LR3D regulator. Question: The SD20S has two alternator field wires #20 each and an output #8 B+. Can I tie them together for about 2 feet? I happen to have the two #20 wires twisted to keep them together. If the answer is yes to paralleling, then another question: Can I parallel the AC output of the internal generator for about 10"with my two #20 and one #8 wires? The internal generator AC output is two #12 wires (yellow) in a shield grounded at engine side. Thx. Ron P.

If I understand correctly, you do not want to connect power wires together,
you just want to locate them in close proximity to each other. Yes you can.
Audio wires, on the other hand, are more susceptible to interference.
And strobe wires can cause interference. Use twisted pairs for those.
