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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:50:45 AM PST US From: Subject: AeroElectric-List: RP3 Indicator 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 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:03:12 AM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: RP3 Indicator From: Charlie England On 1/9/2021 8:46 AM, recapen@earthlink.net wrote: > > Looking to buy leftover RP3 indicators. > > The new RP4 has a different installation method that Im 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 > 'Center of the Universe Principle'?? -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
