I had the same problem with my microwave. The problem was the door
switch. Evidently the microwave was designed so that if it operates with the
door not fully latched, then it will short out the power supply. How dare them
design something that blows the house circuit breaker which could cause the
refrigerator to quit and spoil food. I bypassed that switch. The microwave
has been working fine for years since.

| Subject: | Velocity V-Twin Z-14 |
Hello all,
I am planning a twin velocity build and the logical choice is to incorporate the
Z-14 drawing for electrics. I am stuck with how to incorporate the 2 engine
start system into the schematic. Is there a way to add a rotary switch after
the Starter/Crossfeed switch that will select respective engines to start? Is
there a better way to do it while keeping the same architecture as the original
drawing? I can follow schematics, I can physically build the systems, but
I can't for the life of me conceptualize the ins and outs....
Any help would be appreciated!
Have a great day,
Rob

I would follow the philosophy of every other twin on the planet and have separate
LEFT starter switch for the left engine and RIGHT starter switch for the right
engine.
Take everything engine related in Z-14 and have a second copy for the second engine.

Thanks for the reply! That was my first inclination, but as I have said, I can't
conceptualize how to make the tie-in to the crossfeed work. What wires would
connect to where? :?

How many batteries and alternators are you planning? Electrically dependent
engines?

2batts and 2 alts. Identical to Z-14 except adding the second engine. As far as
electrically dependent engines, I havent decided yet if Ill have completely dependent,
but I will have at least one electronic ignition per engine.
Thanks

Thanks Joe. The door switches are good, still looking.

In re-reading the AeroElectric connection section on fusible links, you
refer to 3" to 6" length for the fusible section. Why can they not be, say
1" in length? Mostly concern for durability as they will need to be in an
accessible area in the event they would need to be replaced.

I see the problem. Z-14 is one engine driving a primary and a backup
alternator. You say your aircraft's electrical system will be identical
except two engines instead of one. Does that mean you will have one engine
with a 60A alternator and the other engine with only a small 20A backup?
You're going to pull all your electrical power from one engine and if it
(or the alternator) fails, most of your panel will go dark and you'll
recover the aircraft to the nearest suitable airport using the backup
alternator and the batteries?
I suggest it would be better to go with a more traditional setup of one
battery, one full sized alternator on each engine, and some way to balance
the load between the two alternators. Z-12 with everything engine related
doubled and somewhere for them to meet in the middle.
