the wakespeed alt voltage regulator is a special component and priced right at ogm probably cheaper than other sources as i got the kit with shunt. correct me if i am wrong but i think ogm wrote their own software program for laptop use that codes the regulator as well as datalogs and has a much nicer interface than what i see wakespeed advertising. this software is an add on item that was part of my kit by promotion. my application is basically a land yacht (rv) and the goal is to have a diversified electrical generation system and as best i can tell now, the wakespeed is a key puzzle piece and integrates so well with my highoutput alternator. i wish i had a watercooled alternator as i read someone that did was able to basically achieve max output almost all the time, but having an aircooled unit the wakespeed will protect it. based of initial testing, i deem it feasible to to run 1 rooftop ac, basic chassis loads, and probably a tv with out running the generator by having a high output alternator with wakespeed with a good sized battery bank, rooftop solar, and integrated automatic generator start as a backup. that is under ideal conditions, and running the alternator at high loads produces a lot of heat so more testing will be done as well as working on piping fresh air to the alt. honorable mention to Rick for quality customer service, will work on my bms next.
