    The Rotax Installation Manual http://www.flyrotax.com/portaldata/5/dokus/d04967.pdf shows a battery contactor between the battery and main bus and a 25 amp circuit breaker between the main bus and the regulator. There are no small relays used in the regulator circuit. During normal flight, only battery charging current flows through the battery contactor. Any voltage drop across the battery contactor does not affect the output of the voltage regulator. The Rotax wiring diagram has a couple of issues: the master switch does NOT shut off the dynamo, and the starter contactor is connected directly to the battery instead of being in series with the master contactor like many E-AB aircraft are wired. The schematic that Bob posted is not from Rotax but is actually from Van's Aircraft RV-12. I recommend NOT using the Rotax schematic. Instead, wire the rectifier/regulator per Van's schematic with the addition of a 5 amp fuse in the terminal "C" circuit at the main bus. The regulator "C" sense circuit and "R+B" output circuit should be wired with separate paths to the main bus. Then the voltage drop to the "C" terminal will be minimized because only milliamps will flow in its circuit. Less current results in less voltage drop. Bob, please correct me if anything that I said is wrong. See attached picture of the Rotax wiring diagram. Below is the key to reference numbers on the Rotax wiring diagram: 1. Electronic modules (A and B) 2-3. plug connection for ignition switch 4. Integrated generator 5-6. External regulator - rectifier with plug connections 7. Electric starter 8-9.

    Joe, The Rotax diagram I'm looking at is for the 914 and it has the C wire going through one relay plus the battery contactor.

    > Joe, The Rotax diagram I'm looking at is for the 914 and it has the C wire going through one relay plus the battery contactor. Ken, You are right. I was looking at the Rotax 912 schematic, not the 914 which has fuel injection. I can understand why the regulator "C" terminal is connected directly to the "R+B" terminals. They want the dynamo to supply power to the fuel pump with no way for the pilot to shut off the regulator. Therefore, I take back what I wrote about connecting terminal "C" according to the RV-12 schematic (unless all scenarios have been considered). If you wire the regulator according to Rotax's schematic and are concerned about the voltage drop across the regulator relay, then consider a double pole relay with the the poles connected in parallel. http://tinyurl.com/DPST-Relay -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435785#435785

    Joe, thanks for the DPST relay tip. The Rotax 914 isn't fuel injected (it's turbocharged) but like a fuel injected engine it must have the electrical fuel pump working in order to run.

    Subject: Wiring dual fuel pumps to single switch
    From: "carrollcw" <carrollswa@gmail.com>
    How can I wire a single dual pole switch to control 2 fuel pumps, only one of which can operate at once with the switch being off bottom, pump 1 middle, pump 2 top. I also need each pump to have an independent power source. I thought I could do it with a 2-1, but I can only get it to go on-off-on. Is there a dual pole switch that will accomplish this?
