It should be noted that the voltage threshold on the E-Plex system is
32V and I believe that the octoplex system is the same. A runaway
alternator can easily take out parts of the system. Lightning strikes
are currently an unknown on these systems. A electrical contractor in
North Carolina that I do business with estimates that the cost of a 3
wire system is about 25% higher than a conventional one. For the time
being I would stick with a conventional system as I know that for the
most part it will survive a lightning hit.
