Rob,

I have that alt/vr combo on my plane, and it draws about = 2 amps normally. That will change depending on the load (increases with load or discharge of battery). The Vertical Power system measures the current of = each device individually, including the field wire, so I check it = occasionally.

Subject: Voltage Regulator Power Draw

Does anyone know how much current an LR-3 voltage = regulator draws to drive a 40 amp alternator in a 12 VDC system? Not how big = a fuse to use, but how much current does it use?

Thanks in advance...
