Subject: | Z-13 Ammeter Relocation Question |
How would I elegantly wire a single shunt to the Z-13 diagram to show me the electrons
flowing into and out of the battery?
Z-13 shows ammeters on each alternator B-lead. This will indicate the amount of
electrons leaving the alternator and going into either the aircraft load, the
battery, or both. I am more interested in the amount of electrons coming into
and going out of the battery. I have and electrically dependent engine, and
the standby alternator is a 20 amp B&C gear driven alternator (BC-410H).
As suggested by Bob in an earlier post, I have done a load analysis and know the
position of the cockpit switches in the event of a primary alternator/regulator
failure, and also the switch positions if the secondary alternator/regulator
fails.
There is a low voltage warning system installed that will show me when an alternator
fails by flashing a light.
Correct me if I am wrong, but with an ammeter in a position to monitor the electrons
coming and going to the battery, it can be used as a tool to monitor the
health of the battery.
The way I understand it the alternator is intended to carry the entire running
load of the electrical system. If the current draw is greater than the alternator
output (for any reason), it would show a discharge on the battery. I have
a Dynon electric engine monitor and have the ability to fine tune where the red
or yellow arcs are at. It would be easy to show a warning if the amps began
indicating less than zero (indicating a discharging battery).
It would seem beneficial to be able to watch the battery take the charge after
start, and to taper off with time, indicating the health of the battery.
I would like to hear some other opinions on why locating a shunt on each alternator
is a better idea.
I would also like to see the best option for hooking up a single shunt to the battery
if I decide to go that way.
Thanks for the help!

It's in the dark? (Sorry, I just couldn't help it. Kinda like the solar
powered flashlight.)

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty,
understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system.
And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness,
egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men
admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
-John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968)
