Hallo. I just installed an EarthX 36 on my RV4.
Cranking is excellent. Problem is that after 10 seconds after having activated the alternator (60 amp. Plane Power bought from Van's) the alternator breaker pops (40 amp. alternator between alternator and bus bar).
I will try to replace the 40 amp. with a 60 amp. alternator, even if all avionics draws less than 30 amperes and most of it was off-line when I made my first starts.
I believe the problem is from the battery. Not actually a problem, but the source of it. I was wondering if it is possible that the battery, even if new and maybe not fully charged, draws more than 40 amperes from the alternator. There is something not clear to me. Did any one else experience the same problem?
Thanks.
Camillo
