All,
I'm working through the FWF wiring and have a question about putting a break in the field wire. Translation: I'd like to run the field wire into a Deutsch connector and run from the Deutsch to the regulator. In fact, I'd like to run both the primary and backup alternators into a two conductor Deutsch connector.
My questions is, is it a problem to have a connector/break in the field wire(s)?
Why? Problems/replacement of an alternator are a "when" not "if" situation. Being able to unplug the alternator(s) forward of the firewall is appetizing. While a single unbroken line back to the voltage regulator would be nice, I don't like the idea of having to pull and reinstall the field wire through a fireproof sleeve full of RTV.
Yes, I could just clip the wire somewhere forward of the firewall when the time comes, but then I'd run into the same question.
Thanks,
Fred
