    Subject: Final schematic
    Vaughn, Because you are running a Rotax 914, which has no mechanical fuel pump, you must have at least one of your two electric pumps working to avoid a silent experience in flight that would probably upset Gaye's delicate feelings as well as yours. I therefore consider it unwise to feed both pumps from your battery bus because a single failure (e.g. of the 12 awg feed to that bus) could render both pumps inoperative. I suggest one pump should be fed from a supply that can receive power from either alternator, such as the endurance bus. You may wish to consider your overvoltage protection relay for the Rotax alternator circuit operating to open the AC voltage input that goes to the regulator G terminals (i.e. break into one of the yellow leads) as suggested in the Z 16 schematic. Bob now recommends this in preference to interrupting the output of the regulator.

Yeah, that can be done but given that 5v lighting (as is most incandescent panel lighting) is going the way of the buggy whip, there's virtually no way I would recover the cost of development. I don't expect to sell more than a half dozen of the 9033-1 as a lighting dimmer. The AEC9033-2 will be a power supply to eliminate batteries in a variety of hand-held devices that run from 2 or 3 cells. I might sell a few more of those.

    Why 5 volts? Sure, in theory the filaments are thicker and more reliable in high vibration situations but is it meaningful for 12 volt vehicles. Apparently it is already increasing complexity and costs. How many bulbs here? Would it make sense to put a couple of strings of 3 in series for 14.4 volts operation? Can they be replaced with 12 volt bulbs? LED's? Ken Robert L.

For reference, from the 603mc IM the aux input Z is 620 ohms, let's call it 600 and keep it simple. While the transformer will break any DC connection, an AC connection remains, and source and load resistances (impedances) from the input to output, or vice versa, are still a function of the turns ratio. Simply put, given a transformer with a 1:1 TURNS ratio connected to a 600 ohm output load, what ever it is connected to the input will see that 600 ohm load; 10k on the load, the input sees 10k. It's called a reflected load. The voltage and impedance ratios are only the same with a 1:1 transformer. While the voltage change is equal to the turns ratio, the impedance difference is the square of the turns ratio, or the turns ratio is the square-root of the impedance ratio if that's what you have to work with. For that 8 ohm to 2000 ohm the Z ratio is 250, or 1:250, but the turns ratio is just 1:15.8; assuming an ideal transformer. I'll call it 1:16 for a real world value. Still a good increase in voltage, but we still have to consider reflected load impedance. That 2000 ohm secondary is loaded by a 600 ohm input. Divide that load resistance by 250, the Z ratio, and the device driving the transformer sees a very low 2.4 ohms. That mp3 player would likely be most unhappy. On to your solutions proposed above. Hopefully I've correctly understood what you were saying and put it to paper. Only two sheets this time. Apologies for that entire data sheet before, that was not my intent at all ! Sheet one shows what happens with the first solution. Load Z should be fine at ~42 ohms, but the actual output voltage to the aux input from a single channel is only 90% of what the mp3 player puts out due to the loss in the resistive combining network. The actual output would add L & R algebraically, but would not double unless both channels had exactly the same program material, a mono source. Sheet two is what I think is your second suggestion. Here the load Z an mp3 output channel would 'see' is ~12.4 ohms. Depending on the device that may be just fine if still a tad low. The overall voltage 'gain' is again the product of the transformer gain, the turns ratio, 16, and the loss from the 10 ohm input resistors looking into that 2.4 ohm reflected load; only 19% of the signal gets through. So the overall voltage gain, from the output of the mp3 to the aux input of the 403 is a bit over 3. That's good, but likely not really enough. For both of these examples we have the generalized case of the voltage 'gain' of the transformer turns ratio (~16) times the 'loss' of the [resistor - transformer] combining network ( 0.0566 or 0.1935) working into the 600 ohm input load of the 403. Were the input-Z of the 603 higher some additional voltage gain from the transformer would be easier to achieve, but then other issues of mixing outputs crop back in. The active summing amplifier solution, for practical purposes, eliminates any of those problems since the inverting input of the op-amp is essentially at ground and neither output channel sees or interacts with the other. One down side is the inversion of absolute signal polarity for both left and right channels. Using a combination of both two transformers and the active summing both the inversion could be corrected, the mp3 output could be de-loaded a bit more to keep it happier, and you would have the gain of the amp as well. Use circuit one and take the junction of the two 10k resistors to the inverting input pin #2. The mp3 now sees a very nice 40 ohm load, there is no channel to channel output loading or crosstalk problems. Don't skimp on the transformer, use something good for a couple hundred mW. There just isn't a really good inexpensive passive solution for mixing two signal sources (L & R) and getting a good amount voltage gain at the same time, at least not that immediately comes to mind, what I have left that is.

When set up to provide say 5 volts at 1 amp of output it must dispose of 9 volts x 1 amp or 9 watts of power that will manifest itself as heating in the LM317. The heat sink provided for this device is not adequate to shed 9w of heat and keep the LM317 happy. The 1.5A rating of this product depends on a max bright load of 1.5A falling to some more tolerable value as the brightness is turned down. There's a figure in the 'Connection that speaks to characteristics of incandescent lamps. It shows that at 50% of rated voltage, an incandescent lamp still draws about 70% of rated current. So turning intensity down to 7 volts on our 1.5A hypothetical offers a load of 1.05 Amps. The 7 volt drop at 1.05 amps still asks the heatsink to cool the LM317 with a 7.2 watt heat rejection task. It's still too small. 5 Volt, long lived imbedded lamps tend to have beefy filaments . . . the lamps are generally rated at 100 mA or more each. It takes only 10 lamps in the string to provide a 1A load to a lighting dimmer. The pure linear dimmers such as the one cited above and those offered by B&C are not well suited for controlling 5v lighting systems because of their inefficiencies. Note also that the B&C 1.5A regulator comes with an LM317 chip . . . and it's on a much bigger heatsink to insure regulator performance at full rated current at any output voltage setting and max expected local ambient temperature. The AEC9033 series devices are switchmode regulators that offer about 80% minimum efficiency over the full range of voltage settings and loads. This means that with the output set for say 5V on a 4A load (20 Watts out) the heat rejected by the assembly is under 5 watts. Depending on heat rejection studies at the prototype stage -AND- radio noise studies the output of the 9033 series devices may have to be de-rated . . . but in no case do I expect it to be less than 2.5 amps.

The practice of choice for this technology when it was new (about 1965) was to use the longest life lamps we could put our hands on. See: http://tinyurl.com/22268w Here's an excerpt from the lamps listing in Allied's catalog. Note the style 13 and 15 lamps are all small, wire leaded devices. Note the exemplary rated lives for some of these lamps . . . 60,000 hours!!! Today, I'd sure be looking for ways to use leds in this application, check out the price of those lamps. The 5v imbedded technology was a really whoopy-do thing about 25 years ago and there are still folks who make a good living fabricating spares for thousands of aircraft that use it. I'd sure think twice before I used it in a new design. Bob. . .

    Subject: Final schematic
    Vaughn, In Bob's earlier Z 7 schematic for the Rotax-type dynamo/alternator, the voltage regulator B and R were joined together at the capacitor and then to the battery via the OV relay contacts. The voltage regulator C terminal was connected to the battery via the alternator/battery master switch, and provided the battery reference voltage to the regulator. Rotax subsequently changed their circuit recommendation so that the B, R. and C terminals were all connected together, and Bob developed Z 16, which has the overvoltage relay killing the input to the regulator rather than its output. This is a safer way to react to an overvoltage output from the regulator, because without any input its voltage output is automatically killed and also it cannot overheat. Please make sure that in your physical layout you provide a good cooling air flow for the Ducati regulator, because a number of people have reported problems with short life if this gets too hot in service.

    Subject: Re: Starter contactor location
    From: "Leo Holler" <leoh@gci.net>
    Thanks Bob and Todd for your sage advice on the "fat" wires and locating my starter contactor. After reviewing what I had planned regarding the contactor, I found that I may have had a misplaced electron (or maybe I was short a few) in my brain housing group [Embarassed] I must also admit that I'm a bit bummed about the AeroElectric list. Bummed because I spent a lot of time over the last several months trying to figure out my new electrical system and most all of the answers were already here for the asking. I just didn't get here soon enough. Guess I should thank someone at B & C for the tip. Don't go away because I'm sure that more answers will be needed in the future. Thanks again.
