Brief Description: Electrical System Design
|
|
August - the month of electrical system immersion
Having finished attaching the tailcone, I was faced with the baggage floor and discovered that I needed to plan and run as much of the main electrical wiring as possible. Speciflically, anything that ran forward or rearward from the battery and the strobe power supply.
The first step was to immerse myself in Bob Nuckolls Aeroelectric book and the Aeroelectric list server. After much back and forth, I decided to go with the R14 design - 2 batteries, 2 alternators, split bus. A very robust design with a certain symmetry and simplicity. This was accompanied by a general avionics design that is centered around dual Cheltons, Trutrak, and Garmin NavCom.
Then I took the fuse off the work benches and down on too a stand of 2 Harbor Freight motorcycle stands and 2 2X4s. Workds well.
Then I worked on measuring wire runs, ordering stuff, and generally going from here to there. Much different than the previous steps of just following the plans.
