I will have a dual alternator single battery electrical system.
I will have two hall effect current sensing devices connected to the EIS 4000 and thence to the EFIS. Trying to finalize their location.
My plan was to put one on the battery + lead and the other on the standby alternator B lead.
The first tells me whether or not I am overloaded, the second tells me if the standby alternator is loaded (e.g. primary has failed) and if so what its generating.
The combination of the two should tell me 1) whether or not I have a primary alternator issue 2) whether or not the standby alternator has also failed, and 3) whether or not I need to do additional load shedding
Comments or suggestions for alternate configuration?
