Subject: | MOV device usage and spec |
This is probably directed to Bob more than anyone else, but if there are
comments, please feel free.
I have noticed the use of MOV's in many of the "Z" drawings. I understand
their value in protecting switches etc. Do you have specs on what MOV
should be used for different applications, such as for contactors, flap /
gear motors, or any other inductive load?
Thanks,
Roger Curtis

Subject: | Know Your Charging System article |
I recently ran across this article regarding aircraft alternator operation and
charging systems.
http://www.nflite.com/ChargingSystem.html
If you scroll down past the general explanations, there is a section titled "Don't
overload the system!".
The short story is that the author recommends starting the engine with ALT field
off so as to not overload the charging system and/or put undue strain on the
diode rectifier. Is there anything to this theory?
Regards,
Jay
