Had this happen to me, here is what happens: First you notice that unmistakable acrid smell of burning electronics. The voltage gauge will read low. Pull over fast and shut down. Disconnect batteries fast, 24v bank first. Check for flames. Let everything cool off. Remove all wires from transformer-rectifier unit on back of alternator, making sure to tape them up well. Reconnect batteries and go on with mission. Notify unit maintenance.
