Digital regulator problems?
Has anyone had a problem with Sterling or any other regulator? After 40 hours of motoring our alternator packed up. We were using a Sterling digital reg to manage the charge. We had the alternator fixed in Palermo - an engineer who took the alternator apart in a flurry of hands, clucked a bit, then ran off with it and returned an hour later with it all fixed. He claimed - quote - the Sterling regulator had sucked so much current through the transistor pack that one of the transistors had overheated and burned out. He showed me - I don;t doubt the transistor had burned out and since the regulator was newly (6 months) fitted there could be a correlation - so - anyone else had any sort of problem like this?
