I will get my web access when I receive my next issue. Meanwhile, I need to consult one particular article, which is Jim Weir's article about solar power battery charging, which was published in the January 2007 Kitplanes issue. Can somebody of you who is (or was) a Kitplanes subscriber, please scan that article, or access the web at kitplanes.com and get the pdf, and send it to my email address. Thanks in advance Carlos Trigo Portugal RV-9A (90% done and 90% still to go) ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:47:04 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: P-mag Internal Power Test From: "rvg8tor" I am getting my wiring started and have a question on how some of you with P-Mags wired your systems. There are two tests for th P-Mag as I understand things. One is just like a traditional magneto check, you turn off (ground the p-lead) and check for mag drop. The other check for a P-Mag is to turn off the 12v power to the P-Mag to check that the internal alternator keeps the magneto running. The check of the internal alternator does not seem like something that needs to be check each flight. I am considering just pulling the CB for each P-Mag to make this check rather than wiring a switch to serve this purpose. What have others done with regard to this, I don't want to use a switched breaker, I will just add the switch if it is required. My thinking is to just pull the breaker. We pull breaker on the B-767 at the end of each flight to turn some equipment off while the plane sits between flights, so I don't think there is an issue of waring out a breaker. Thanks for any pointers. -------- Mike "Nemo" Elliott RV-8A QB (Fuselage) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=263999#263999 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:44:02 PM PST US From: "David & Elaine Lamphere" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: P-mag Internal Power Test I used a normally-closed single-pole single-throw (momentarily opens against spring) switch in series with the PMag 12V circuit breaker. That said - it is YOUR plane and if YOU want it a certain way (and the inspector doesn't object) - that's your choice (and risk). :-) Got the switch from Mouser.

Thanks for any pointers. What you've proposed is consistent with Emagair's recommendations. In fact, Figure Z13/8 was crafted with a similar philosophy. http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Adobe_Architecture_Pdfs/Z13-8Q.pdf Note that with ship's power taken through a fuse from the main bus, the internal power source integrity can be verified occasionally by checking engine operations on the p-mag while the main bus is down. Easy to do under comfortable conditions and only occasionally.
