I'm pleased to inform the List that I've already received
a response to an inquiry I mailed to Steve Klodd at Plane Power
this morning.
A copy of the exchange has been posted at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Alternators/Plane_Power/70129A_Plane-Power_SKlodd.pdf
In a nutshell, Steve tells us that the 5A breaker illustrated in
their wiring diagram at . . .
http://plane-power.com/images/AL12_EI70%20Wiring.pdf
. . . does carry field excitation current. Further, the
OV protection module does pull down on this breaker to
"crowbar" it open and bring a misbehaving alternator
to heel.
Further, this information confirms that operating the
"Alternator Field" switch provides any-time, any
conditions, any-reason, zero-risk ON/OFF control of
the alternator which is consistent with conventions
adopted for engine driven power sources on aircraft
since day one.
I'm pleased to make Steve's acquaintance and will
endeavor to expand on this initiative. I'm equally
pleased to know that my this particular product would
live and operate happily in any system I would craft.
I confidently endorse Plane-Power's operating philosophy
for this product.

All I can say is halleluiah!!!! Spelling??? ;>)

Yup, it comes out the same in any language.
This product appears to meet design goals
consistent with seamless integration into
traditional aircraft architectures and
operating philosophies.
Having passed that milestone, it remains for
these new kids on the block to earn their
merit badges in product performance and customer
satisfaction. Frankly, this can be a much
taller hurdle than meeting design goals.
I do wish them well and will offer to assist
where ever practical and appropriate.
