For normal ops, not necessary. When MAIN BUS is hot, all busses are hot. Even if you're flying on the AUX ALT, no repositioning of other switches is necessary -unless- selective load reductions are necessary based on criticality of individual busses. Distribution of loads to the various busses is part of your design goals for crafting Plan A, everything up and running -OR- Plan B, continued flight to intended destination on the AUX alternator. It may not be the same for every project. But if one feels better with alternate feeds ON . . . it doesn't hurt anything. There are no risks that arise from 'mis-positioning' any switch. Like the legacy z-figures, this suite of drawings will be supported with copious notes including a pre-flight checklist that will exercise all funtionalities before launching into the blue.

The question I could not find an answer to when searching this list is: For economic reasons, can I wire for the back-up alternator but not install it until a later date? If I can defer the installation of the alternator and regulator, would I just secure the wiring to prevent shorts or are there other considerations? And while we are discussing the Z-12 Architecture...is there a newer version not in the 12 edition? Seem to me I ran across a reference to an updated version (Z-01?) on this list but I have been unable to find that reference again. -------- Michael Fleming Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=495828#495828 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:54:47 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Z-12 Architecture, Back-Up Alternator Wiring From: "johnbright" MFleming wrote: > ...

Hi Mike, There's a thread called " New role for the E-Bus?" at http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=16775049&sid=beec687018ed2b0a52a9d69799f3d944 Bob introduces the new Z-101, labeled "preliminary" at this time, on the fourth page of that thread starting with this posting: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=16775049&start=76&sid=beec687018ed2b0a52a9d69799f3d944 Bob has a tremendous number of files online.

Nope, just cap the wires and mechanically secure them. >And while we are discussing the Z-12 Architecture...is there a newer >version not in the 12 edition?

See my posting 4/14/20 on "New Role for the E-bus" where you'll find links to a suite of drawings presently being reviewed here on the List. Do you plan an electrically dependent engine?

I found the files, can't wait to look them over thoroughly. I'm planning on one Pmag...I'm not sure if that qualifies as electrically dependent but I would guess yes. Is the new thinking that Z-12 is outdated? I worked my way through the book and really like Z-12. -------- Michael Fleming Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=495832#495832 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
