Subject: AeroElectric-List: 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: AeroElectric-List: Know Your Charging System article
From: "jayb" <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com>


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
