 |
|
I’d appreciate a review of power architecture block diagram for an RV-14A with P-Mags, pointing out errors or omissions before I get too far down the road.
1. Mission: Day VFR cross-country is primary; IFR training & use in the future.
2. Engine: IO-390, mechanical fuel injection & fuel pump, electric aux fuel pump.
Note: Manufacturer tests P-mags to ensure they self-power at 900rpm and above. From experience, I expect lower, will test before Phase 1.
3. Power:
primary: B&C LX60 alternator, LR3D voltage regulator;
backup: Monkworkz MZ-30L (30a at 1800 rpm);
battery: ETX900 LiFePO4 15.6ah.
4. Avionics: GDU 460 display x2, GTN 650xi GPS Nav/Com, GTX 45R remote mount xpdr, GTR 20 remote mount radio, GAD 27 interface adapter, G5 backup electronic flight instrument & backup battery
5. Architecture:
Core Z101: no clearance delivery or battery bus, no brownout booster, no Aux Alt and regulator.
Added MZ-30L permanent magnet generator (relay-isolated to prevent battery drain)
Thanks to Mr. Nuckolls, this list, and many builders who shared solutions; any errors are mine.

As a conceptual diagram, it looks fine -- I see no errors in what you've done so far.
