There is also a blank planning form that I use as the FIRST step of planning a new electrical system. Fill out one page for each bus . . . battery, main, e-bus, engine, etc. List the load and it's demands under each of the flight conditions. I've run load analysis studies on a lot of airplanes, one that even included pitot heat STILL came to less than 27A for a max continuous running load. It's really easy to get bogged down in the notion that an alternator be sized to run everything all the time . . .
