I'm struggling with this.
Nuckolls' book says 60a is too small, that a larger one is recommended to avoid 'nuisance' trips. But, I heard 'somewhere' that a 60a ANL won't blow until WAY more than 60a passes it, which makes me think even a 60a ANL might not protect the avionics in case of an alternator surge. Am I overthinking this?
My alternator is a Plane Power that came with the FWF -14A kit.
Another question:
Doesn't the internal voltage regulator in the PP alternator protect the circuits downstream?
