Alan: The 60 amp alternator should have a 60 amp breaker, however, 50 amps is common as they are much easier to come by.
A shunt goes in parallel with the meter, i.e. across the two terminals on the back of the meter. Note: many meters have internal shunts. Only one to a customer! Of course, the installation instructions from the STC holder ore the field approval supersedes anything I would say.

I am installing a 60 amp alternator in the project coupe with the matching voltage regulator and a shunt and a 60 AMP meter. I also have to put a circuit breaker or fuse in the line from the alternator but nothing tells me the required amps for the breaker. Is it also a 60 amp breaker? Anyone have the correct wiring for the shunt? Alan Fairclough N94694 ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
