Dynon only supports one ammeter. I have a main alternator and and a standby. The standby only produces power when its voltage regulator senses bus voltage below a certain point which is below where the main alternator would have the bus voltage at, the logic is with a good main alternator the standby stays asleep, so they both will not produce power at the same time.
What I want to do is take the B leads from each alternator to separate current limiters then attach both to one side of the shunt the out side of the shunt would take the power to the bus. The shunt is in a location after the alternators and would show the load going to the battery and main bus.
Is this OK? I am looking at the Z12 diagram which is what I am using from the AEC and the B leads both attach to the start contactor post, all I am suggesting is putting a single shunt in just before this connection and then feeding the "B" leads to the other side of the shunt.
Thanks for any help
