Bob: I am searching the internet for rocker switches. I found your site a
nd read about rocker switches and found I didn't know any thing.I had a che
ap switch fail that was one of the less than $2.00 ones for my strobes. Al
so that I should probably be using the gold contacts.My question is--you me
ntion that the switches you sell are good ones. Is there a catalog or lis

I have my plan drawn out and posted to my web site. I would appreciate
having this group look it over. There are notes on the page regarding design
goals and a different way of feeding the Aux battery I'm considering.
Thanks

Okay, I got it done. See:

You might suggest that those folks also join us on
the AeroElectric-List.

| Subject: | Z8 Ground Power test switch |
In the attached, Ground Power switch is a 3 position (On)-Maintain-On DPDT with
indicator lamps. I want to use the (On) switch as a test for power to the GP
jack to know when GP is connected to the plane before throwing the switch to the
battery.
I was going to just wire the switch from the positive of the GPJ to the (On) through
the switch lamp to ground.
Question: If I do that, do I still have OV protection from the 9024 module? It
seems that the test circuit is another parallel circuit like the contactor coil
circuit and that OVP is preserved.
Thanks,
John

Strobes are about the most demanding of all systems
when it comes to control switch selection. Readers
on this List have reported numerous difficulties
with switches having riveted terminals.
goto http://matronics.com/search
and search the AeroElectric archives for
carling & failures
(use the ampersand in the search string)
you'll get a dump on several threads involving
failures of Carling switches and/or terminals that
were mated to tabs on the switches.
The numbers of incidents were higher than we'd
like and we never did really deduce a single
root cause. A number of carcasses I've inspected
showed a variety of causes including poor fast-on
crimps, fast-on grips loose, rivets in switches
loosening and internal fits for part of the
switches. Interestingly enough, switches used
on strobes have demonstrated the highest rates.
It's unfortunate that you're locked into rocker
switches . . . your options for increased robustness
at attractive prices are much reduced.
Here's some alternatives you could try:

| Subject: | Plane Power Alt. |
Bob,
I bought a Plane Power alternator and want to install it on my Tri Q 200. I have
the crowbar over voltage module, wired as per your recommendations. I will be
replacing a ND IR atl. for various reasons. The Plane Power is also IR. Can
I just hook the field wire to the same wire I have for the field wire on the old
unit. Their instructions lead me to believe it to be that simple. I have a
5A circuit breaker in the current system, and that is what they call out. Am
I missing something?
Thanks for all you do,
Kevin Boddicker

Last time I looked at the PP alternators, they
had crowbar ov protection built in . . . See:
http://plane-power.com/images/AL12_EI60%20Installation.pdf
are you using something different that does not
feature built in protection?

The application is a Cozy MK IV all electric, single mag, 1 EI, Single

Thanks, comments appreciated.

PS, I posted this to the group earlier, but evidently it did not go thru.
