REFLECTOR: Bus, Battery & Back Order

[Al Gietzen]

  What voltage do you all trigger the low voltage

warning?  I am guessing that since alternator produce 14V and the

battery is at 12, simplistically it should be set to 13V or so, taking

the middle.  Is there a standard value that is the "industry standard"?

 

My engine monitor will read bus voltage and the current from the alternator.
I can set the alarm limit for low current output (probably something lower
than what it takes to just run the engine) to give early detection of low
alternator output.  Possibly one reason for an ammeter.
