Well, I never claimed I was omnipotent... *grin*
I was thinking something along the lines of the main
alternator going offline, the main panel running on battery,
and then the aux alternator kicks in on the aux buss.

What architecture are you talking about . . . which
one of the Z-figures? Your citations of main and aux
bus don't bring a clear image to mind.
Quote: | Depending on how things are wired, it may be possible for
the main buss to be running off the main battery with no
main alternator, and the E-buss to be running off another
battery and be on the aux alternator.

Oh. Okay. Z-14 . . . then you don't need an e-bus.
Quote: | If this was the case
and the low voltage were wired to the aux buss, you may
not immediately realize that you lost your alternator
on the main buss.

If you run Z-14, then BOTH systems have their own
independent low voltage warnings.
