The more **** you stuff into an electronic control unit the more there is to go wrong. Tiny 30 and 40 horsepower sailboat motors use cutouts to stop charging if the engine doesn't have enough power to fight a current. They also use a 30 second ramp enabler to prevent cold start alternator drag down. Useless for automotive.
New motorhome electrical design is so stupid on some pushers they control voltage regulators with a remote sensing connection instead of minimizing charge cabling voltage drop.
Just as a chuckle my 2 remote rectifiers have 6 rectifiers each. They are stud type PLATING rectifiers 1,200 amp 1,675 PIV. They use a 1? wrench and have 2/0 braided leads. A 1?" hole was drilled for the stud
They weigh 2 pounds each. The heat sinks are ³/16" anodized copper. Even back then the copper cost me a hundred dollars as did the anodizing.
