    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Bill Steer" <bsteer@gwi.net> Hi. I'm just getting started on my electrical system and have received some parts from B&C. One of those, the continuous contactor to be used as the battery contactor, arrived with three diodes on it, all oriented toward the one of the two smaller posts. I know there should be one from ground (i.e., one of the two smaller posts) to the "actuator" post, but what are the other two, from each of the load side posts to the "actuator" post, for? Thanks for your help. Bill Steer Zenith 601HD/Stratus

That contactor has to serve both electrical systems and their battery switches.

Rotax has acknowledged an operating characteristic of their alternator system and has recommended a technique for reducing the deleterious effects of that characteristic. Good engineering, good marketing. The folks at XCOM have every reason to expect that their product will be fed by a system that is no worse for noise than those standards and practices adopted by the industry for decades. I'd be very surprised if XCOM or anyone else would ask for a large cap to be installed upstream of their product for any instance except to acknowledge the need already defined by folks who sell PM alternators.

    Subject: Re: Firewall penetrations
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Karen and Robert Brown" <bkbrown@ashcreekwireless.com> Hi Frank- I used those conduit adapters that have a locking ring on each side. I do not believe they are steel. I ran my wiring through them and then sleeved them with a 6" piece of firesleeve hose which has a stainless steel clamp installed at both ends. After the wires were run, I injected 3M Firestop (from Home Depot) into the firesleeve. My thoughts are that for most high temp situations, this will be fine. For the highest temp situations (5 or 10 minutes at 2000F), my cowl will have burned off (it's epoxy) and my windscreen will have burned through (it's plexi) and at that time, I don't think a steel flange around a wiring bundle will be the crux of the matter... If it is, I guess you'll read about it in the archives. And thank you Mr. Nuckolls for all the learning AND for making me think about MY design goals. One of my main goals in building this plane was to have a simple, robust electrical system that I understood and installed. With your help (and the contribution of all you listers!) I have achieved that. Being a non-electric type when I started, I have not contributed nearly as much as I have read, listened and learned. Bob Brown RV7A - Fitting cowl/baffles/the last 99%

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Hinde, Frank George (Corvallis)" <frank.hinde@hp.com> That's a good point ob, I do know that the pot metal melted VERY quickly with the oxy acetylene and I would bet it would get pretty darned hot under there before it burned through the cowling. Even though the resin will burn with ferocity it will take a while to get thru the fibers to attach you from the outside. This is based on the pictures of burned out fiberglass cars I've seen. I still think the pot metal is a LOT better than a empty hole/nylon bush but if some kind of steel is available I'd rather have it. The galvanising really doesn't bother me as it is a pretty small quantity. Of course this all comes from a guy with a homebuilt with holes in the firewall just sealed with silicone...But then it hasn't caught fire yet...:) Frank Do not archive -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Karen and Robert Brown Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Firewall penetrations --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Karen and Robert Brown" --> <bkbrown@ashcreekwireless.com> Hi Frank- I used those conduit adapters that have a locking ring on each side.

Sounds like they sent you one wired for crossfeed application. See figure Z-14 and : http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Contactors/s701-2.jpg For battery contactor and other simple applications, the S702-1 is usually sufficient. See: http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Contactors/s701-1.jpg Now, having said that, there are builders who have wired their battery contactors like crossfeed contactors. They have dual batteries and they were thinking that if only one battery had been accidently run down, one could bring the good battery on line though the normal power path and start the engine. Then the battery contactor on the dead battery could STILL be closed using power from the bus instead of depending only upon energy from the depleted battery to get the contactor closed. The extra diodes are cheap and it might be a useful feature at some point in the future operation of your airplane. Bob . . .
