 |
|
Bob,
I plan to use your Z-12 diagram as the basis of a 2-alternator, single forward-mounted battery system in my RV-8A. I will have an endurance bus with the AFS 3500, Garmin 496, SL30, Auto Pilot Mstr (TruTrak ADI Pilot for back up attitude), Pitot Heat, Boost Pump, Pitch and Roll trim, and one Cockpit Flood Light running on the SD-8, realizing that use of pitot heat will eventually drain the battery. I am trying to understand the differences in operating principles of the B&C L-60 and the SD-8, particularly in the need for the 5 amp field circuit breaker. Does the SD-8 need one?

You lost me. Z-12 is specifically for the SD-20 on the vacuum pump
pad and some larger alternator on the front of the engine. Are you
sure you're not referring to Z-13?
If Z-13, the SD-8 "field" breaker obviously does not control
a real field . . . however, functionality of this breaker is
the same as for an externally regulated machine where opening
this breaker shuts off the associated alternator.

Life is indeed harder when you’re stupid. I submitted the above from memory while on the road. What I really meant to say was Z-13 / 8.
