I am considering a single bus dual alternator electrical system.
Primary alt = 60 amp
Standby = 30 amp
The standby is just along for the ride unless the primary takes the day off.
Assume the primary goes south.
Standby now on line.
What powers the plane the battery or standby alt?
The real question is do electronic items need to be load shed or does the standby alternator simply decrease the discharge rate of the battery?
Tnx
