Output of the Rotax internal generator is 18A.  80% of that is

 is the greatest load I expect you would want to put on your buss 

 and still

 have a margin of safety.


	


Noel,



Experience from the field and from the lab seems to indicate that 12 A permanent load is the most one should expect from the Rotax Ducati regulator to avoid overheating and self-destruction.



So we'd better keep the loads to a minimum.



Best regards,

In this case I agree....   Go with the experience and limit the load to 12A

maximum.  If you need more capacity than that, install a larger alternator.

2A (at) 12V may not seem to be very much....  Until you see how that can burn a

wire.



Thanks

Noel
