Hello Mogman, The way I read it... Not so much the sense current requirement, but looping the alternator output / charge current back thru the box. Those # 8 ga pins are rated at 72 amps. Short run of number 8 ga wire could ?? handle it for a while. "RUN" contractor / relay rated at 125...
2 1/2 years later and getting thrown under the bus. Then why post the same thing I was saying. Sorry couldn't answer all your questions. Mogman is likely correct your 100 amp unit was hacked in and control box is not going to be happy. And for a first post... sound like you have it all...
Lazboytt, Clean up that nasty ground lug, under the ground lug on the front of the alternator, your third picture. Better yet, clean them all up.
Don't forget to disconnect batteries and get back in formation, CAMO
At the 24 volt stud of the 200 amp alternator... you will always have battery voltage. With a working (running engine) alternator charging, a regulating voltage will be present. (increase to nominal 28.5 VDC+/-)
It's a direct connection to battery in this configuration, CAMO
