    @meh1951 you in cold and dark!
    My Bat and gen and avionic switches on. But the engine ist not running... Generator ist not running= Mo Power output. But See on my pic positive amps in the Alternator (Generator) load Gaube. Normal you must have only the battery Main Bus voltage and the gen load must Shows 0. On my example switches the prop antiice with on to better See the load amp Meter is indicated load with no running Generator. When i understood the System correct the Alt ampmeter Shows only the amps is load on the Generator. Not on the Main Bus. Correct?
