Volt regulator

Anybody recommend a voltage regulator that can handle 20 amps (250 W)? A Key West can handle 16 amps (220 W) max. If I can't find one, I'll use a Key West and use a 15 amp breaker for protection. Should work providing one doesn't let the battery run down to the point that the reg tries to dump 20 amps into it suddenly. Had a lot of problems in GA aircraft where the owner upgrades from a 20 or 30 amp alt to a 40 or 45 amp and doesn't change the breaker, then wonders why the breaker keeps tripping when the battery is low or using a lot of juice. But the two stroke needs the rectifier type. And I won't be using much power.

I’m using a YAMAHA SHINDENGEN FH020AA regulator.  It’s designed for three phase stators but works fine with our single phase types. It uses MOSFET technology and wastes less power in heat than the traditional types used with rotax engines. It maximizes the output from the 165 watt coil on a 582.
