Electrical problem SOLVED!

Dr. Dave. I did the 8 gauge ground wire, which improved the charging system. I purchased a Zeftronics ACU for the #2 position of the voltage regulator selector switch, this is the down position. I adjusted the voltage regulator, which was allowing an over-charge, 29.5 volt. During a flight to Nashville, TN I had to shut down the rear alternator to get the voltage below the 29.5 voltage. Now with the ACU and the adjusted VR the system voltage is a STEADY 27.4 volts. The other thing I've discovered was how to remove the mount around the four switches, MASTER, ALTERNATOR SELECTOR, STAND-BY RUN, and VR SELECTOR. I'll replace them as soon as the weather is warmer, my hangar is NOT heated! So Dave that's it for now. Appreciate IT!! Also I'm not sure about changing the old circuit breakers? I would have to completely remove all the old C/Bs (non-resettable) with re-settable type. I haven't had any problems with the old type--MAYBE in the future??
