Bazza Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 2nd question on emergency stop switches why do fia approved ones need to have a resistor ? and what does it do ? read something about protecting the alternator, but still not sure how or why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 2nd question on emergency stop switches why do fia approved ones need to have a resistor ? and what does it do ? read something about protecting the alternator, but still not sure how or why basically, if you dont have the resistor, when you cut the power...the engine could still run,..as the alternator is still turning, hence generating current...the resistor prevents damage to the alternator the isolator i have fitted to the Monster is the Armtech Hybrid Battery Isolator Model No. 70BC06.
