the question
Charlie
Your comment on the OV nuisance trip is interesting. How does one tell if the OV
was a temporary, non-threatening excursion or if it is the result of something
serious? Resetting the breaker seems risky.
Dave's comment about being able to isolate the field field when ship's power is
on without the engine makes sense. In that case I wounder if a switch and a fuse
would be better. Pulling breakers seems a bit kludgy.
Cheers
Les

You tell by resetting the breaker, once.

My RV-6A operated 2 plus years with a Subaru and my forest of tabs bolted to the
stainless firewall with the two thru bolts and nuts inside. I have two grounds
to the engine from the bolt head and one to each of dual oddessy bats. Had
another ground on the panel side of the glove box attached with metal screws
and a #8 wire ground from there to the firewall forest.
Am now going to dual EFII on a Lycoming and it has been recommended to isolate
the glove box ground, leave the 8 wire to firewall ground AND to isolate firewall
ground and a #8 wire to inside post from battery to avoid any ground loops.
Do both changes have merit, or just isolate the glove box ground? Also have wing
lights grounded by lamps.

Well, every just about every plane I've flown with an alternator switch has
accidentally been flown with it off. By me. Somehow I manage to check
"Breakers In" but "Alternator On" occasionally escapes me. And for as
infrequently as I use the breaker as a switch, it works fine for me. FWIW,
my field comes on with the master, through the field breaker.
