Ya, I have to admit that I don't know anything about the internal wiring of the
relays or the ECU's. In the preflight I plan on cycling each power feed to the
engine bus to make sure that both are working, I'd also cycle the ECU select
between 1,2, and both. The coils and fuel pumps would also be similarly checked.
I would expect that if a relay or an ECU were unservicable that it would
show up with those checks. Do you have a different opinion John?

Subject: | Re: Protecting the fat wires |
Thanks Bob. This simplifies things a lot with respect to wiring my aircraft.
What I am understanding is that any of the fat wires, properly sized and installed
on the switched side of the contactor feeding the busses will have an exceedingly
low likelihood of causing problems and don't need any further protection.
What about the fat wires coming directly from the battery to feed an always hot
bus? (The schematic is above) I have such wires for my fuel/ignition system from
two batteries. Does the same principle apply of sizing and installing the
wire appropriately as being good in and of itself or should those be fused close
to the battery?
Thanks!
Randy

Initially I had those wires going to a breaker which I think would essentially
accomplish what you suggest. I liked the idea of actually seeing that there is
a problem by witnessing the tripped breaker. A fellow builder who is also an
electrical engineer pointed out that if a short occurred somewhere between the
breaker and battery in that setup, that there would be no way of turning off
the electrons. There are a lot of examples in Bob's diagrams where those hot
wires are * as "6 in or less" presumably to guard against just such a scenario.
Does that not apply to the long runs supplying the bus which are much much
longer than 6"?

It was my understanding that the diode on the the feed between the two sides
was what led to the current hogging that happened and which ultimately caused
the whole thing to come crashing down. With Z-14, if I am understanding correctly,
should not be an issue since the two sides are also isolated. Is this
correct?

Thanks for the detailed explanation Bob.
Most builders powering the SDS system are doing it off of a single bus from two
independent batteries as per manufacturers recommendation. From what you say
above, this is similar to Z-19 and diodes are justified in this scenario.
In my plane I do have a cross-tie and not a diode. The normal flight configuration
will have X-tie open, thus effectively having two independent systems, each
with an alternator to keep the batteries charged. I hope this accomplishes
what you suggest as being imperative.
Also, normal operation during flight would have both power feeds to the main bus
hot. Is this a bad idea?

Randy

Do you have a different opinion John?
Hi Randy,
You are using SDS dual ECU for six cylinder with fuel trim. I know the dual four
cylinder wiring because I have the harness and relays. SDS does not show full
schematic details in their install manuals. It looks to me as though the Normal
injector switch position is relays not energized. Suppose the black wire to
the common terminal of the SPDT switch was broken; engine would run in all three
switch positions and pass preflight. Ref attached snip from "dual6ecurev3.pdf".

How would that be done? There were two fuses
from always hot battery busses feeding a common
bus . . . how does one independently verify
existence of energy to for each feeder?
Had they stayed with powering each ignition
from it's own battery, the legacy 'mag check'
would have verified independent functionality
of each system.

. . . but what event or combination of events
will bring down power to the injectors if they
were ALL driven from one bus?
N811HB came down because the installed architecture:
(1) failed to recognize that every bus in the
system was ALREADY redundantly powered
(2) failed to maintain independent power sources
for EACH ignition system.
(3) failed to exploit the fact that the engine
would run well on EITHER ignition system.
(4) added features not included in the original
Z14 intended to ADD redundancy when in fact
it NEGATED redundancy already in place.
(5) placed undersized protective devices at
risk for failure for lack of FMEA.
NOTE: I've had builders bend over backwards
to keep both ignition systems operating when
in fact, a perfectly good plan-b for energy
conservation would call for shutting one
ignition system OFF during conditions of
limited energy availability.
So I'll repeat the question. Suppose all SDS
injectors were powered from one bus . . . each
protected by its own fuse. What failure condition
would bring down power necessary to kill the
engine?

The z-figures mark such feeders
with an (*) meaning 6" or less . . .
or at least as short as practical.
There is nothing wrong with having
battery bus fuse blocks located
adjacent to battery contactors.

FAT wires capable of many hundreds of
amps are (1) few in number and (2)
installed with special attention to
low risk for mechanical damage. Less-
than-fat feeders to battery busses are
recommended compliant with design goal (2) by
keeping them short.

My understanding of the '6" rule' (like the battery bus, etc) is that
we're keeping the unprotected section of wire quite short, and enduring
that it's in a protected area where it can't be inadvertently brought
into contact with structure or objects that can short out the terminals.
By doing this, we're driving the risk of having a problem with that
unprotected wire to near zero. All wires leaving the bus would be
protected by fuses/breakers.
I'd say that your engineer friend's thoughts were correct. The
conventional alternative would be to place the bus near the battery (6"
rule) and make fused runs to each switch from that bus. My choice for
the engine bus was to mimic the the alternator B lead protection: I
placed a fuse link (you could use an ANL, if desired) at the battery end
of the wire that supplies power to the main ignition switch and
subsequently to the engine bus. The time constant of fuse links & ANLs
are so long that unlike a regular fuse, short-term current spikes from
bringing the bus on line should never fatigue the protection into
failure. The feeder is still protected from catastrophic fault.
My choice exceeds the fairly common practice of limiting always-hot
feeds to around 3 amps. But the feed is only around 30" long, and the
idea is not unprecedented; many older certified a/c (with smaller
electrical systems) had under-seat or baggage compartment batteries with
an always-hot feeder all the way to the instrument panel mounted high
current master switch (no contactor at the battery).

Mount 40 amp automotive relays (B&C S8009-1) within 3" of battery positive
posts. Connect 14 AWG between battery positive and relay. This 14 AWG
wire will serve as a fuselink. No fuses needed. Connect the relay output to
the engine bus with 10 AWG. Diodes could be installed per your diagram, but
they are not required. The pilot can control which battery is connected to the
engine bus by turning on one or both relays.

So I guess the question that I would have is: Is that diode protected double
fed single bus still a design waiting to fail if one does his due diligence including
checking redundant power to the busses during run up and properly sizing
and fusing the wires?

With their design I can't see how either. However, could they have installed a
switch or an appropriately sized relay for each of the main feeds so that each
could be turned on and off in sequence?
As for the SDS, I think we are on the same page but maybe not. You've said that
the bus and the feeding wires properly installed are incredibly reliable. I
think that it is therefore safe to run all of the injectors (each properly protected),
as well as the other components (also properly protected) off of a single
bus that has two useable power feeds as the manufacturer has designed. No
single battery or alternator failure will bring the house down. So to answer
your last question in a different way, I don't think anything other than failure
of the battery, the feeding wire, or the bus bar would kill the engine.
Boy I hope that I'm not being thick headed with this. Thanks for your patience.

There may not be a clue while in flight other than perhaps periodically scanning
the breaker and seeing it popped. It would definitely be obvious during the
preflight checklist if done correctly.
Ok. I understand the difference between overweight wire (14AWG) and morbidly obese
wire (#2 AWG) and that each has different needs.
If it weren't practical to have the always battery bus immediately adjacent to
the battery, is a fusible link or an inline fuse acceptable?

The diodes were suggested by an electrical engineer and fellow builder to mitigate
a risk of high current flowing between the batteries if both feeds were on
simultaneously. My understanding was that this could cause problems with the
fuses that I initially had on those lines, but am now going to omit based on
the previous discussion.
Thanks for the info and the ideas! They are valued.

I'm not sure that I'm following correctly. That switch determines whether the injectors
are running off of one or the other ECU or both (each taking three injectors).
If you were on both and that wire were broken I'm not sure why the engine
would continue to run normally.

Hi Randy,
I don't have the relays and harness in hand to 100% verify but I imagine:The Normal
injector switch position is relays not energized.
The Primary position energizes a relay to take three injectors off the backup ECU
and put them on the primary ECU, injectors paralleled in pairs.

There is also a Mixture Knob Relay. Perhaps that disables cylinder trim.

Subject: | Official AeroElectric-List FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) |
Dear Listers,
Please read over the AeroElectric-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below.
The
complete AeroElectric-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/AeroElectric-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
[ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as
Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ]
This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm
************************************************************
******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *******
************************************************************
PLEASE READ. This document contains AeroElectric-List policies and information
for new and old subscribers. Understanding the AeroElectric-List policies will
minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the AeroElectric-List
running smoothly for all of us.
******************************************
*** Quick Start Guide to List Features ***
******************************************
There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each
one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator
you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this
List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?AeroElectric-List
****************************************
*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***
****************************************
Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and
select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You
may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of
your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the
complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information.
The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is:
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption
process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed.
You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request.
The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post
until you receive the second conformation email message.
*****************************
*** How to Post a Message ***
*****************************
Send an email message to:
aeroelectric-list@matronics.com
Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
to the List.
*****************************************************
*** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post ***
*****************************************************
When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message
is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the
email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.
If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it
is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
gets posted to the Lists.
Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important
with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook
or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be
functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List:
smith@machine.domain.com
smith@domain.com
Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure
your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to
the List.
**************************************
*** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***
**************************************
Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these
are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
content of enclosures.
These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics
Lists:
1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.
2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.
3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.
4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.
5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.
6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:
bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls
All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down
the process of posting the message !!
Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules
could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files
you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
folks and the rest of us, for that matter.
2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically
scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Look for the link "Image Resizer"
3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even
questionable. !!
4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and
BE COURTEOUS!
Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where
you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server
for long time viewing and availability.
*******************
*** Digest Mode ***
*******************
Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended
to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting
of a line of underscores.
Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.
To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form
described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable.
Now some caveats:
* Messages sent to "aeroelectric-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
digest List.
* If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
the day.
* If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change
the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please
*do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.
****************************
*** List Digest Browser ***
****************************
An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text
or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found
at the following location:
http://www.matronics.com/digest
*****************************************
*** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag ***
*****************************************
At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very
small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive
it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the
message:
do not archive
Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List
email distribution as normal.
**********************************************
***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes *****
**********************************************
Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced
email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly
removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving
messages from the AeroElectric-List, go to the following Web page, and look
for your email address and a possible reason for your removal.
The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that
automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that
caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox
full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the
Lists you will find record of it at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed
If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel
free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice.

*** Realtime Web Email List Browsing ***
****************************************
Recent messages posted to the AeroElectric-List are also made available on
the Web for realtime browsing. Seven days worth of back postings are
available with this feature. The messages can be sorted by Subject,
Author, Date, or Message Thread. The Realtime List Browser indexes are
updated twice per hour at xx:15 and xx:45. You can also reply to a message

*******************************************
*** Web Forums Bulletin Board Interface ***
*******************************************
A phpBB BBS web Forums front end is available for all AeroElectric-List content.
content. The Forums contain all of the same content available via the email
distribution and found on the various archive viewing formats such as the
List Browse, etc. Any posts on the web Forums will be cross posted to the
respective email List, and posts to the Email List will be cross posted to
the web Forums.
You may view all List content on the Forums without any special login.
If you wish to post a message via the Web Forum interface, however, you
will need to Register. This is a simple process that takes only a few
minutes. A link to the Registration page can be found at the top of the

*********************************
*** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
*********************************
In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed
information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at:
http://wiki.matronics.com
The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information
for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page
where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki
permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately.
While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be
comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any
images and email it to:
wiki-support@matronics.com
One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct
a Wiki page for you.
Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the
Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that
post and convert it into a Wiki page.
*********************

*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************
The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages
associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November
I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they
are comfortable.
I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the
Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated
by companies that are themselves List members.
Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists
including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server
system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many
many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
variety of services found here.
Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude.
Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just
subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in.
The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are
a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
sending a personal check.
If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to
support its continued operation?

AeroElectric-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the AeroElectric-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the AeroElectric-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
AeroElectric-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the AeroElectric-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
