Josh Cox said:but we are not working on the space shuttle here.
Because of the higher current being produced, a matched pair of Zener Diodes are employed to conduct the surplus current to earth under low load conditions.
Run the 2 brown wires to the Zener Diodes via a route where they can be taped to the existing loom. Ensure that these wires will be equal in length within 100 mm (4") before cutting.

Cheers.
