It's interesting that if I take the alternator and regulator to the
bench I can hold 100amp without dropping below 14v. I guess the
in-airplane application is a lot different than the bench environement.

What I posted are the minimal requirements for minimizing voltage drop in the
wiring from the regulator to the bus and from the bus to appliances (such as the
NAV/COM). The voltage at the regulator on the bench will certainly be different
than that measured at the bus.
