Subject: | RV10 Electrical Issue (w/ Format Clean Up) |
Hey guys I am way in over my head on this forum but a nice man from BandC su
ggested I try. Attached is the electrical diagram of my recently purchased R
V10. It was completed in 2009 and the avionics was switched to a Garmin 900x
a year later. My issue is it safe and operationally sound. It is an X desi
gn, if that is familiar.
Apparently the builder added a bus tie in order to bypass a diode bridge rec
tifier type because the draw to recharge the Aux Battery, 2 wheel chair batt
eries 7Ah 12v wired in series reduced the essential bus voltage to 12.6v. Th
is bus tie when on,boosts both busses back to 13.6v. Is this how it was mean
t to be run?
Additionally with both alternators on, the displayed alternator amperage see
ms to be all over the scale; sometimes 45-50 amps when the airplane has most
accessories off. Feeding both alternators into a single =9Cbus bar
=9D seems to cause issues and is that safe?
Therefore it=99s been recommended that I swap out the Stby Alt for a 6
0A PP alternator and just use it as the primary power source. My preference
would be going to a Z plan where each alternator powers its own bus but I
=99ve been advised against that. The good news is my A&P figured out the s
hunt had not been changed per Garmin install instructions, a 100A 50 milivol
ts currently on order.
Sorry for the length of this & the formatting issues.

Looking to buy leftover RP3 indicators.
The new RP4 has a different installation method that I'm not ready for yet
as I have a bunch of them in use.
If you have any in your leftover bins - let me know what you want for them
