My electrical system is standard europa without deviation and i have a rotax 912 The last time a flew when i started the engine had a red x over the ammeter (ie not working) where it had worked on the previous flight. I pulled the alt 30A cb which reset the "instrument" and thereafter it read normally. I left the 30A battery cb set during this process. My question: When I pulled the cb the amp reading, once it came alive, spiked up to 60A. I immediately reset the cb and everything settled back down to its normal readings. Is this spike normal? Thanks Will ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:32:34 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Ammeter spike From: Pete Depending upon where the large capacitor is, yes, it could spike like that of it was discharged. > On Oct 6, 2017, at 11:52 AM, William Daniell wrote: > > I have a dynon skyview and the ammeter reads off the shunt per dynon manual.
