Default Overspeed alarm based on alternator frequency

@c28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com:

I've got 2 options - the easy one - disconnect the wire - is an
overspeed really necessary or useful??
Try and get a device to divide the frequency.



As alternator speed has NOTHING to do with its output once it's just off
idle, why not put the right pulley back on it, correcting the problem and
saving the alternator bearings from overspeed, themselves...premature
failure.

Spinning an alternator so fast DOESN'T make it put out another amp....

No, you can't charge the house batteries in 5 minutes, either....(sigh)
