Going from memory here but as I recall the diode is there to prevent arcing
of the switch contacts controlling the solenoid and not the solenoid
itself. I'm sure that that info is in the archives. Try a search for diode
or diode and contactor to be sure.

I agree with Rick.
One way to test a diode is to remove it from the circuit. Then put it in series
with a test light and battery. The light should illuminate when the diode is
orientated one way and not illuminate when reversed.
Trying to start an engine with a weak battery can lead to welded contacts.

Yes of the two occasions this happened to me, one was because of a weak battery.
The other was caused by an intermittent dead short (yes!) in the starter motor.

Z-16 has the relay interrupting the dynamo AC. So the relay could interrupt either
the AC or DC. If the voltage rectifier/regulator were smoking, then interrupting
the AC would be better. Other than that, either way should be OK.

Yes and interupting AC allows a smaller less robust relay than what is
required to reliably interupt DC current. Rectifier/regulators smoke
just often enough that I use an OV/On Off relay (forward of firewall)
on the AC supply to it and a C/B near the battery to limit current from
the battery. There has been some discussion in the past on this.

Everything that I have newer than my 70 year old Ford has contacts built
into the starter and no separate starter contactor. Both systems can
weld shut but it is pretty rare with the built in contactor IMO.
Despite having integral contacts on my starter, I do run the starter
current through the battery contactor on my aircraft as it was
convenient to do it, it added miniscule resistance to the circuit, and
(in my case) it makes the heavy starter wire go dead when the master is
off. I would recommend that scheme if a standard 200 amp battery
contactor is used or if the battery was inaccessible and could not be
disconnected within a minute or three. I would not argue that it is
essential. I would take another look at this if using a Li battery.
Either way the important thing is to make sure system voltage recovers,
or battery is charging after the engine starts (or at least before
takeoff)! Phooey on starter engaged lights.
Even paralled with the coil, diodes can often be tested in circuit with
a nominal one volt low current source or ohmeter as they typically
conduct at 0.6 volt or less but I don't bother unless it is physically
damaged or suspect for some reason. They seem to last forever or
occasionally simply blow apart when shorted.

It's one of those pesky FMEA thingys . . . to get
your product/design qualified onto a sophisticated
TC aircraft you need to demonstrate or at least calculate
that failure of the device presents ZERO safety of flight
implications because it's either (a) insignificant
or (b) is backed up. In the case of conducting
FMEA, you ASSUME that it will fail . . . another
way of acknowledging that the risk of failure
is not zero.
The other path to qualification Nirvana is the
so called reliability study. One puts on the
green eye-shade, digs out their Hogwarts-issue
magic wand and divines a failure rate for
EVERY component of the of device down to the
solder joints. Then you put them in this big
pot (computer) and it simmer to a predicted
failure rate for the constellation of components.
If one achieves failure rates on the order of
one per million flight hours, you can get onto
most flying machines, churn out a one-per-
billion-flight-hours design and you're good to go
to Pluto.
We lowly tin benders and electron herders find
it more practical to go the FMEA route . . .
especially when the not-zero=risk assumption
is validated with demonstrated anecdotes from
history. Hence the legacy policy of routing
starter current through the battery contactor
(assuming there is one).
There are special cases like Z20 where the
system's energy source is limited.
VariEz airplanes flying and SD-8 as sole
source of engine driven power is one example.
There are other examples of PM alternator
where we'd rather not toss off 0.8 Amps
of current just to hold the battery contactor
closed; hence no contactor.
It doesn't represent a terrible risk . . . but
if one would LIKE to emulate the battery contactor's
function with a zero energy budget, consider
a battery switch. The TriPacer in which I studied
back in the dark ages had no battery
-OR- starter contactor . . . they were both
manual switches.
Here's one example of a suitable switch
https://tinyurl.com/ycechd8f
I've updated Z20 to reflect this configuration.
Hmmmm . . . last time that drawing was updated
was 10 years ago . . .

I posited that notion some years ago and began to
incorporate that philosophy as the z-figures were
updated . . . See Z16.
Hmmm . . . just updated Z20 and didn't get that
feature incorporated.
Either way, it's not a really big deal but yes,
breaking the AC leads from the PM alternator
is a bit more 'sanitary' . . .

The diode across the coil of a contactor has no
significant effect on the life of that device's
contacts. An often quoted document by Potter and
Brumfield claims that coil suppression techniques
can have a deleterious effect on contact life.
https://tinyurl.com/yayk835c
One of several exemplar figures is shown below:
Emacs!
When this document was first cited on the AeroElectric List,
I went to the bench and captured some relay performance
traces of my own:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/spike.pdf
https://tinyurl.com/yb6s6l7c
<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwip2P__z5reAhUOLKwKHQBuDpcQFjAAegQIChAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aeroelectric.com%2Farticles%2Fspikecatcher.pdf&usg=AOvVaw1fSB4o1iKTQo5ZueJzNvVN>www.aeroelectric.com/articles/spikecatcher.pdf
I'm mystified by the trace pictures in the P&B
document. They fail to illustrate any drop-out-delay
caused by addition of the simple catch diode.
At the same time, the figures and text purport to
show how coil suppression techniques can affect
CONTACT SPREADING VELOCITY which is the critical
to contact life. They also fail to show any
contact bounce on closing. If I were a physics
prof grading these illustrations as part of a
student's work-product, I would ask them to
'show me' back in the lab.
I was able to show that contact spreading velocity
does not change appreciably with variations in
coil suppression technique (for reasons that
have to do with MAGNETICS and little to do
with coil current).
The short answer is, worrying about the diode
is not useful. They seldom fail and when they do
fail, they'll fail shorted . . . not open . . .
and may even blow apart as noted by another Lister.
The PRIMARY reason for contact welding is a soggy
battery. So if your starter fails to get the
prop whipping around right smartly . . . STOP
and charge/replace battery or plug in ground
power.

Joe,
You made a remarkable statement about weak batteries, starting, and
contactor contact problems.
I hope everyone reads your remark and remembers this potential problem.
Too many try to do starts via a weak battery and cold engines. This will
eventually do contact damage in the starter contactor.

*Sorry for the re-post of the message below, but I don't get my own posts
back from the matronics server.Can anyone tell me if they got a .pdf
attachment with the previous post of this message?Thanks,CharliePlease
forgive the rough looking drawing; I've never had time to learn a cad
program, so I tweaked a z drawing with MS Paint to create the attached.
Ignore the fused feeder values on the engine bus; most are artifacts from
my cut & paste operation. Both alternators in the drawing are auto-style
internally regulated; the engine comes with an IR alternator, and I just
hung a 2nd where the air conditioner compressor used to reside. As yet
unresolved in this draft is the fact that both OV modules can 'see' both
alternators. My original intent was to run both alternators all the time,
but I may modify that idea to primary/backup. My controller (from Real
World Solutions, specifically for Mazda rotary engines) does have
primary/secondary controllers in one box, but a single power feed to the
controllers. The RWS controllers have been set up this way for over 20
years. Over the years, multiple fliers have had controller issues requiring
switching to the backup controller, but none have ever had a power supply
failure to the box caused by an issue with one controller. If the
controller box had separate power feeds to each controller, it would
obviously beg for running one from the a/c bus, but I'm not sure that would
be a good thing, from the standpoint of trying to keep the systems similar
(as possible) to old habit driven pilots. The controllers' control of the
injectors & ignition coils is switched by an external control, which drives
a bank of internal relays to do the switching (I believe this is how the
ones for a/c engines do it, as well). Power to each injector & coil is
individually fused; the controller switches the ground side of the
injectors/coils. There are dual Walbro high pressure fuel pumps, each with
it's own fuse/switch. The choice to have an engine master was driven by the
same logic mentioned earlier. Just as the airframe can go dark without
affecting the engine, a typical a/c can shut off the engine by turning a
key or flipping a pair of mag switches. The engine master switch is my 'mag
switch'. But I'm not married to this, is there good reason to change? If
the above isn't clear, I can try to do a rough drawing of power flow to the
engine's power feeders. Charlie *

Subject: | Re: IVO current limiter project |
I've received a batch of 6 boards and assembled and tested one of them. I
found that there is an error on the board. Zener diodes D5 & D9 as well as
mosfet Q7 & Q8 are mixed up. Now it makes no difference at all about Q7 &
Q8 as they are identical but as for labeling on the board they are mixed
up, but the zener diodes D5 & D9 are different, so when assembled as per
the board markings, the LED glows dimly as there is grounding current
leaking through the 10volt zener diode. It still glows bright when GP1 goes
high. Switching D5 & D9 corrects this issue.
This can be corrected for these already built boards, by simply altering
the schematic diagram, otherwise the .pcb file for the boards could be
corrected. I would recommend go with the first option, as it is quite
expensive to have these boards produced by expressPCB, but they do provide
along with the finished product the gerber files that will allow future
boards to be produced by much less expensive sources. I'd be happy to
provide these files to Bob to post with the other project files on
aeroelectric.com to save costs for future builders.
But even after correcting this issue I'm still having problems with the
circuit, that I suspect are a result of my ineptitude in compiling C into
hex. I've contacted Paul Fisher for his guidance on this, as he wrote the
original code. The problems are surprisingly similar to one that was
reported here long ago when the first iteration of this project was all
hardware based without the microcontroller;
When I apply power to drive the prop motor, it will move for approx .5
second before GP1 goes high, tripping the circuit. It does this for both
directions. But measured current is only a max of 6.5 amps of inrush
current with about 5 amps of continuous current. The behavior of this would
suggest that possibly I may have correctly compiled the code as it should
trip in .5 second of high current (.5volt across R16a-d). So possibly this
just needs to be changed in the code.
After several trips up to the airport to test this, I built a bench test
set-up using an electric water pump for a load as it has very similar
current draw as the IVOprop motor, so that will expedite further testing. I
just heard from Paul and he will take a close look at my hex code, so
hopefully it will be a simple error in my hex code.
I'll update soon....
