When you say 10AWG b-lead feeder, I presume you're talking
about a SMALL alternator, like the SD20. Here you're talking
about fusible links on the same order as those used in automobiles
(14AWG). Yeah, that size b-lead/alternator combination is probably
a good candidate for fusible link . . . but under the cowl.
> The standards . . .
Let's be careful about what we label as "standards" . . . the fusible
links in automotive applications are common practice supported
by good science and practical experience. If we elevate the practice
to a "standard" then the next creep in concept will elevate it to a
regulation. There are roaming hoards of individuals constantly on the
lookout for things to elevate to regulatory status all in the name
of safety . . . and nobody is against being safer, right?
> . . . point to using four gages smaller, or, 14 AWG. Is this what you
> are advocating to substitute for say a 70A CB or 80A current limiter?
Here's where we get a disconnect. A 10AWG/14AWG feeder-link combo
is in the 20-30A alternator class. If you're looking to replace
a 70A breaker, then we're talking 6AWG or 4AWG feeders and fusible
links are indeed impractical. Then the CB or current limiter becomes
hardware of choice. Since the b-lead protection does not benefit
from pilot access, a limiter is attractive. Know that limiters
have a VERY long and conservative operating time constant compared
with fuses. See:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/anl/anlvsjjs.html
Note that a 100A limiter will carry 170A indefinitely
and that it's blowing time constant is much longer
than fuses. Breakers fall between fuses and limiters
with respect to sensitivity and speed.
Which b-lead are you wrestling with? An SD-20 or something
larger?

Subject: | Wire gage VS length of run on Z14 |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Duane Wilson <aaa@pacifier.com>
I am building an RV9A with the Z-14 as my electrical system. I need
help understanding what gage of wire to use in a few spots.
In particular there are some specifications on the schematic that
state the run should be 6 inches or less from the battery contactors to
the batt bus. 10 AWG is recommended for these runs, but the load on
these buses should be very light.
Why the length restriction, and if I can't place the bat buses
within 6 inches of the contactors how should I figure the correct wire gage?
Same type of question for the 4AWG from the Aux batt to the contactor
Thanks,
Duane

The Z-figures are illustrative of ARCHITECTURES. All wires, breakers,
fuses, etc should be sized in accordance with the details of
equipment you choose to install. The values shown are typcial but
not necessarily applicable to YOUR project.
Battery busses should be as close to the battery as practical.
The industry practice is that small feeders of 6" or less do
not represent a significant hazard to flight if they should
be faulted to destruction. If you're going to extend a battery
bus, then it becomes just another main, aux or e-bus. In this
case, practice suggests that you provide it with its own
mini-contactor like the e-bus fat feeder shown at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/E-BusFatFeed.gif
If it's a battery bus, then it's close to the battery and
is fitted with fuses no larger than 7A. Again, an industry
practice . . .

Hi Brian,
Now that is the kind of teacher we all need. Realism and down to
earth examples of technology will mean that history will be remembered.
There are so few teachers who make it interesting. Thank goodness for
private schools. I taught for one semester in high school. Got out of
the garbage heap real quick and went on to a real job. I taught "shop",
electronics, metals and wood to freshman thru seniors.

You know, my experience is that mostly the teachers are just clueless.
They aren't inimical. The really believe that the "party line" is right.
God save us from people with good intentions.
Worse still is that they don't really know their subjects. They don't
know how to show kids the patterns in math and numbers so it becomes
easy to visualize. They don't understand scientific method and that it
is OK to know the what and the how but not the why. And in history they
can talk about the dates things occurred but ask them to talk about the
causes and effects and you just get the "deer in the headlights" look.
I really like the school where I have found myself working because I get
to talk about this kind of stuff. The only mandate I have is to make all
of my classes hands-on, hence charts, plotters, E6Bs, batteries, wire,
compasses, measuring tapes, historic firearms, etc. I am even thinking
of setting up a ham station and staging hidden transmitter hunts (let
them apply their newly-learned triangulation and map reading skills).
And for English (which my just-about-to-graduate-from-college son is
student teaching) the kids are acting Shakespeare (6th graders no less).
They love it. OTOH, it was a scream the other day as they were going
through the cast of characters for "Twelfth Night" and one girl asked,
"what's a eunuch?" The ensuing response had me all but rolling on the
floor. He hemmed and hawed a bit with the kids getting more and more
confused. Finally he says, "It's like what they do to a male dog, you
know, 'snip snip'," while making scissors-motions with his fingers. The
kids got it. Eyes went wide and there was a chorus of "Ohhh!" and
"Ewwww!" The headmistress and I had to turn around so the kids couldn't
see the tears of laughter streaming down our faces.
And we still didn't get any complaints from parents. Go figure.
Time to start taking them for Young Eagles rides and letting them do
some flight planning for flights we can actually fly. I also have to
plan a field trip for them to Norcal TRACON.
Sorry for getting so far afield. Back to electrical systems.

Hi Robert ...
Your thoughts about the 8 cg being more fwd, were thought provoking sending
me to Van's site. Empirical comparisons brings me to the possible belief
the lack of rake on the 8 gear along with the weight of the towers, could
place the cg fwd of the 8A. That tail wheel, being some 16' aft of the main
gear, does serve as a powerful arm in the scheme of things. Thanks for your
info Robert.

My bad Bob ...
I erroneously labeled a 60A alt B lead with a 10 AWG and stared at for so
many days ... began to believe it as well. It deserves a 6 AWG ... correct
me if wrong. In this installation, would a 60A current limiter be OK since

I think it goes more to how committed to excellence is your local school district.
I live in Dist. 196 in the South metro of St Paul/Mpls. MN The district was
named a District of Excellence by both the state of MN and the US Dept of ED.
. My sons have gone to a public school through high school and all three schools
have the above credentiials. Incidentially in middle school[678] here ,we
had a firearms class given for the 6th grade. We brought guns to school and
actually went out to a farm on a school bus and had all the kids try a .22, 30/30
,.30 06, and a shotgun. All ammo ,targets paid for by the school. It isnt
like every school is bad in the US.

You're correct. An ANL 60 will be just fine on the b-lead
of a 60A alternator.

Subject: | SD-8 PM Alternator |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "J. Mcculley" <mcculleyja@starpower.net>
Bob N,et al,
There has been periodic discussion on this list in the past about the
SD-8(& maybe other permanent magnet alternators)not being capable of
coming on line if the battery or other power source to the buss fails or
is not otherwise available to activate the SD-8.
I have experimented with a simple idea that solves this situation and
want to share the info to solicit comments on the suitability or any
downside features anyone may offer.
The circuit consists of tapping into the SD-8 regulator output and
feeding that through a diode to the positive side of an electrolytic
capacitor, grounding the negative lead of the capacitor and connecting a
spring loaded,normally-open push-button switch across the diode.
After engine start-up and during the subsequent pre-flight system check
of the SD-8, it charges the capacitor and the diode prevents loss of
this charge thereafter even if the SD-8 is not left switched on. If
total loss of electrical power to the buss occurs during flight, the
SD-8 will come on line by momentarily activating the push button switch
while also closing the SD-8 switch to the buss.
Through both ground and flight testing, I found no situation where
it failed to work. An unexpected finding is that the SD-8 will activate
with as low as 1.0 volt charge on the capacitor! Another bonus is that
the capacitor leakage rate is so low that from an initial charge of only
12.5 volts, it requires 2 hours short of 3 full days to leak down to
10.5 volts! (average of 0.0286 volts per hour). Of course, this rate is
progressively less as the charge voltage drops further, so if someone
left the Master on and killed the battery and then wanted to prop the
engine many days later(more than 2 weeks!)the SD-8 could then be brought
on line!! BTW,I'm using a 56kmf,16V(20Vsurge)capacitor from Digi-Key,
P/N P6878-ND, at less than $8. Less capacity should also work
adequately,but the already small size, weight and cost doesn't
contribute enough to cause concern.
What puzzles me is how the SD-8 and its regulator can respond to a
voltage as low as 1.0. Can someone explain this?

I'm putting it on the left side of the fuselage across from the battery,
above the flap.
