    Subject: Z11 "Generic Electrical system" with Dual Electron
    From: "bcone1381" <bcone1964@gmail.com>
    Greetings; I'm applying the wisdom gleaned from The Aeroelectric Connection and request feedback. The Aircraft: -A basic VFR Bearhawk Patrol, which is a Aviat Husky/Super cub type of aircraft -Dual Surefly Electronic Ignition modules to replace Magnetos. Electrical system Goal: -Simple reliability, -Power Dual Electronic Ignition, plus simple stuff like a comm radio, transponder, a fuel pump, LED NAV lights and a few other things. The Z11 digram titled Generic Light Aircraft Electrical System is my favorite. But the Dual Electronic Ignition needs are special. I called Surefly and they agreed that prudence demands I install a dedicated battery for each ignition module. Further guidance from the Ignition Supplier -Use a hefty diode to the Aux Batt to reliably protect it from back feeding -Monitor the Voltage to the Aux Batt. -Size of Aux Battery can be small, just so its duration exceeds the fuel duration. 8 amp hour? Some here might be interested in electrical needs of a single ignition module. -Required Voltage = 8-30V -Amp draw = 0.7A +/- 0.2A at 2700 RPM -Permanently connect Power to the + Batt terminal OR the Master Solenoid battery + input. -Use 14AWG and a 10A fuse or CB. -When the Ignition is placed in Standby mode (turned off) by grounding the P-lead, it draws less than 1ma. So, I'm proposing a Z11 system with one ignition wired directly to a normal size Main Battery, and the second ignition wired directly to a small single purpose Aux Battery. Although Bobs Book has a Dual Batt diagram, In the spirit of simplicity I didn't use a solenoid for the Aux Battery, I protect the aux battery with a diode, and I will monitor the voltage of the Aux battery. What are your thoughts? -------- Brooks Cone Bearhawk Patrol Kit Build Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=495508#495508 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_0518_119.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/screen_shot_2020_03_31_at_41808_pm_464.png

The B lead should be sized large enough that the alt can't hurt it. As drawn, the ESS bus is always hot (directly tied to the main battery). As drawn, the aux battery and L ign are always hot (tied to battery through the diode). As drawn, the R ign is always hot (directly tied to the main battery). I don't fly enough to trust that the ignitions wouldn't run the batteries down while the plane sits idle. Might not be a factor for you. I'd also want positive control over the ignitions; I suppose that pullable CBs would accomplish that. Hope the above is helpful. Congrats on the Patrol; Bearhawk does nice airplanes.

I called Surefly and they >>agreed that prudence demands I install a >>dedicated battery for each ignition module. Absolutely not recommended. All due respect to Surefly, they are not systems integrators nor should they attempt to become so without adding a butt-load of tribal knowledge in the aircraft arts. They have reason to worry, 'deprive our pride and joy product(s) of energy and your engine stops'. It is sufficient to make that assertion and leave it at that. Your task then is to PROVIDE failure-tolerant power sources to critical equipment such that no single failure puts the airframe (and by extension it's occupants) at risk. >>Further guidance from the Ignition Supplier >>-Use a hefty diode to the Aux Batt to reliably protect it from back feeding >>-Monitor the Voltage to the Aux Batt. >>-Size of Aux Battery can be small, just so its >>duration exceeds the fuel duration. 8 amp hour? >> >>Some here might be interested in electrical >>needs of a single ignition module. >>-Required Voltage = 8-30V >>-Amp draw = 0.7A +/- 0.2A at 2700 RPM >>-Permanently connect Power to the + Batt >>terminal OR the Master Solenoid battery + input. >>-Use 14AWG and a 10A fuse or CB. >>-When the Ignition is placed in Standby mode >>(turned off) by grounding the P-lead, it draws less than 1ma. Good data . . . EXACTLY what is their DUTY to supply such that good decisions can be made by the systems integration individual (or team) to provide an FMEA friendly architecture and operating philosophy that (1) minimizes risk and (2) minimizes cost of ownership. Adding backup batteries NEVER reduces cost. Further, if a backup battery is really necessary, then there's strong probability that something is seriously wrong with the basic architecture. The premise behind this idea is that airplanes have a family of devices presenting various levels of criticality for comfortable termination of flight. So you have dual electronic ignition? Fine . . . are you comfortable launching into the blue not having offered the rest of your electro-whizzies the same courtesies as your ignition systems? If not, the does it not stand to reason that if the rest of your 'critical' systems are happy, so too will be your ignition systems? The optimal answer is 'fix the architecture' and leave the batteries on the dealer's shelves. >>So, I'm proposing a Z11 system with one >>ignition wired directly to a normal size Main >>Battery, and the second ignition wired directly >>to a small single purpose Aux Battery. >> >>Although Bob=C3=A2=99s Book has a Dual Batt >>diagram, In the spirit of simplicity I didn't >>use a solenoid for the Aux Battery, I protect >>the aux battery with a diode, and I will >>monitor the voltage of the Aux battery. >. >> >>What are your thoughts? Have you considered the fledgling architecture posted here on the list a few weeks back . . . See https://tinyurl.com/qnzenca Here we've shown an 'engine bus' that enjoys dual feedpaths such that no single failure of power generation/storage sources will bring down that bus. If that assertion is in error, let's deduce root cause and fix it. I'm not suggesting that a 'standby battery' would never be the elegant mitigation of an identified failure mode . . . but that is the key word . . . IDENTIFIED. Perhaps it is your project that offers a pathway to illuminating a condition that begs 'fixing'. There's a particular project manager at Hawker-Beech who still figures in my dreams wherein I can see him peering at me over his reading glasses and asserting: "Nuckolls, CONVINCE me that this system's certification fortunes hinge on the addition of a (stick your favorite band-aid in here)." Let's do our homework and see if we can figure out how to make your project fly comfortably on one, judiciously maintained battery . . . just has hundreds of thousands of airplanes have flown for over a century.

    Subject: DC DC Battery Charger
    From: "mullokintyre" <mmul6471@bigpond.net.au>
    I have been building up my 4WD Tow vehicle with auxilliary batteries, solar panels etc, and was wondering if its viable to transfer some of my new found experience to my experimental aircraft . I have a dual Electronic Ignition dual battery setup with a B&C 60 amp alternator, plus a backup sd08 alternator. Plenty of redundancy. However, although the 60 amp alternator is more than adequate to keep the main battery charged, The sd08 does not keep up with the discharging of the auxilliary battery. I was thinking about putting in a DC DC charger from the main battery to the ausxilliary. Something like https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0022/5640/4547/files/OzCharge_Manual_OC-DC1215_V1.2.pdf?2151 Am I being optimistic/foolish??
