Oh... That fusible link. I think I might have taken one of Bob's drawing too literally. That's what it shows on the z13/8 in my version of aeroelectric connect. A 20 AWG fusible link for a 14 AWG wire ...

Having a switch to disable the stick grip start button is a good idea. But disabling the avionics bus is not necessary and introduces a failure point.

Yeah, I guess part of the idea with having an ...

First off... thanks to everyone for taking to time to weed through my diagram and offering suggestions.

But why even have that bus? Connect the alternator field breaker to the main power bus with a ...

The solid state disconnect is rated at 300 amps with 500 amps for one second. It's not clear to me whether it is rated the same in both directions. Here is a link to the documentation they provide. ht ...

I'm working on my electrical system design. My plan is to install the EFII system using two alternators and one battery. The primary ECU, injector, fuel pump, and ignition will be powered off the alwa ...

Thanks for the replies. I'll get to work seeing if there is a way to reduce the EBUS load to something more manageable. Like original poster, If I reduce down to only the items essential to keep the e ...

I'm planning a similar setup to what the original poster has mentioned. I too am trying to decide which Z diagram is better to follow. I have decided on a dual alternator and single battery setup.

Thanks for the advice. I'm moving ahead with the Z-13/8 architecture as described by Bob in his book.

I do have a question regarding the feeder line from the battery contactor to the main battery b ...

I'm at the early stages of planning my electrical system. I've got the Aeroelectric connection book and am studying the diagrams to see which would fit my admittedly rough plan.

I'm strongly consid ...

Thanks for the reply. It seems from the picture you linked that it is acceptable to ground the battery locally. From what I understand you to say, is acceptable. The z-15 seems to show that it is best ...

Thanks for the reply. It seems from the picture you linked that it is acceptable to ground the battery locally. The z-15 seems to show that it is best to ground the battery at the firewall ground. Yet ...

Thanks for the replies. I'm definitely concerned about deviating from the KISS method.

It would be interesting to know more about the exact cause of that electrical system failure in the link prov ...
