Some information for those having dual electrical system on their rotary.

I found a 30 amp. alternator with internal voltage regulator that stop
generating when its field  wire is disconnected,  most internally regulated
alternators keep on generating when the field wire is disconnected.  So an
overvoltage crowbar can be used with this alternator with no internal
modification necessary.  I use it in a dual alternator system.

The alternator is a DENSO  16678-6412
It was removed from a 3 cyl. Kubota diesel engine.  Weight 6.25 lb.
