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...
