Subject: | Re: Load Analysis Feedback Please... |
I spent a lot of time analyzing electrical requirements during my -8A build
, and initially seemed to apply overkill to every requirement. A few points
that led me to Z 13/8 and a 40 amp B&C alternator and an SD8 backup:
* It really is steady state loads - not transients
* Endurance bus is just that - something to comfortably get you on
the ground after a main alternator gliche; it doesn't need to include all t
he nice to haves: strobes, #2 radio, most interior lighting, pitot heat, (
if required turn it on for short periods), aux power plug. Again, you can
wire these to the endurance bus but turn them on only when required
* Backup batteries in the Garmin and AFS 4500 relieve a lot of the
requirements
* Minimize equipment on Battery Bus
280 hours and 20 months later, the electrical system has worked flawlessly.
Normal load - strobes, 496, SL30, PMA7000B, GTX 327, AFS 4500 - is 15 amps
. The extra $ for B&C products - and attention to detail in wiring the Z13/
8 architecture - does instill confidence. Two switches to get the SD8 and E
ndurance Bus online; turn off the Batt/Alt switch and it's mostly business
as usual.

I don't know if we've talked about these folks
on the List before . . . but I ran across an current
application where these connectors appear a great
alternative to knife-splices and perhaps even the
Molex/Tyco-Amp white nylon connectors.
I've uploaded a data package for the Anderson PowerPole
connectors to this page on my website:
http://tinyurl.com/cbe2t87
On that page you will also find installation instructions,
tools, and a link to the factory outlet where you can
buy any quantity of housings, pins and accessories
at reasonable prices.
Do a Google on Anderson Powerpole and you'll no doubt
discover many other sources for this unique product
line.

We ham radio guys love them. If you put a set on your radios you can
pretty much show up anywhere and plug in and get power for your gear!

A search of the list shows that we did kick them around a few times starting
back about 10 years ago.

Yeah, I've been seeing them for years but never
really sat down and studied the products and their
technology. Pretty slick.
I think B&C has been using them in their SD-8
installation kits for years. In fact, it was
a ham radio application that prompted me to revisit
this product.
I inherited a Kenwood TS440 in great shape from
a old friend who was upgrading his station. Got
a longwire with tuner put up which is marginally
serviceable. Planning an off-center-fed dipole
as soon as the weather warms up and roof-crawling
is not so unfriendly.
Been honing up the CW skills. Haven't been on HF
in over 40 years but I've got some grand-children
who should see what this ham radio stuff is all
about.

Bob and all,
Your messages about PowerPole connectors prompted a question :
What type of ground connector would you recommend to easily connect our
Optimate charger to the ship's batteries through the aircraft skin
(without opening the baggage door) ?
Among goals we are aiming at :
- Lightweight
- Small footprint
- Resistance/protection from water, mud, etc.
- As aerodynamically clean as possible
Any ideas ?
Thanks for any input,
Best regards,
--

Hi Group
I've been using Anderson Power pole connectors since the late 90s on
electric models. I really like them and have been using them here and
there on my Europa project.
One note, when drawing more than half of the rated capacity, even though
contacts are clean and there is good tension, every once in a while
they go higher than desired resistance and will melt down. These failures
were on high amp draw model use. I got tired of losing power just at the
wrong time and decided to parallel two connectors. Never had another
problem.
Here's an emergency run at least one electric fuel pump on my 914
Rotax battery that has two paralleled connectors:

McMaster sells them called "modul;ar connectors:

Subject: | Low Cost ELT Antenna |
I'm several weeks away from completing my Cygnet project. The aircraft has
no electrical system, and I've installed an older Narco ELT 10 as it is
theoretically a two seat aircraft. However, I don't have an antenna or a
plan for one. What would be the simplest and least expensive way to go?
The Cygnet is steel tube and fabric with a wood/fabric covered wing.
Thanks,
Jerry Folkerts

Subject: | Re: Low Cost ELT Antenna |
Hate to tell you this, but it is illegal to install an original type ELT
in any aircraft as a new install. If it had a Narco about 20 years ago,
before they were made obsolete by regulation, you could still replace
with same model legally, but you can't use one as a new install. The
ELT10 is a first generation, designed in the early 70's, and does not
meet current requirements, so only old installations are grandfathered.
You are going to need a second generation ELT, such as the Artex, ACK,
or Ameriking. The cheapest new are a little under 200. You also have to
use the antenna it comes with.
If your aircraft requires an ELT, it must be a TSO ELT of the second
generation or newer, and the TSO requires using the antenna with which
TSO was granted
