Hi guys.
I am currently working on my homemade v twin engine build. I have almost finished the mechanical bits and will be moving on to electrical part soon. I have absolutely no electrical background, so please pardon my lack of knowledge.
I have a 200 watt alternator mounted on the engine shaft, which supplies three phase power to a rectifier regulator assembly. This assembly then supplies 12 volt power to a battery , ECU and other auxiliaries . My questions are
1) Can I use one alternator to provide supply to two rectifier regulator assemblies that are connected in parallel? These two rectifier regulator assemblies will then supply power to two batteries , two ECUs respectively.
2)if this can be done, then will it affect the functioning of the ECUs? Will the same 12 volts be maintained across them?
3) will both batteries maintain their charge?
FYI the total electrical load will not exceed 145 watts.. Alternator capacity is 200watts at 5000 rpm. Battery is 14 ampere hour. Fuses are of 20 amps.
Looking fwd to hearing from you and once again sorry for my lack of knowledge
Cheers
