It turns out that the rectifier diode was defective. I probable shorted it out or something as I was installing and testing wiring over the past several months. At one point it worked and I thought ...

Situation - I am using Z-12. I have a diode, which tests ok, between the main buss and the e-buss. I have the e-bus wired to a switch and then to the battery bus per the diagram. For the wire from ...

I am installing a five position starter switch. Question, do I ground th p-lead shields at the switch and the magneto or only the magneto?

I'm building and RV9A. According to my antenna manufacturer, RAMI, Inc, instructions the antenna should be 24 inches from any other antenna and reflective surfaces, e.g. landing gear. My plan has be ...

Thank you all for the input. Responding to Matt's question, I did not have the alternator running at time I took the measurements.

I have a .8 volt drop across my e-bus diode. Voltage in from the main bus is 12.4. Voltage out to the e-bus is 11.6. Can anyone advise if this is normal or if I have problem. Wiring appears correc ...

I am using the Z-25 drawing for wiring the regulator and ov protection for the SD-8 alternator. I have the rectifier diode mounted on the sub-panel. The z-25 drawing indicates a that the ground run fr ...

I am using the Z-13 architecture. This calls for a diode between the main bus and the endurance bus. I am planning on keeping the endurance bus at less than 8 amps. B&C offers a diodes with hea ...

Thank you for the feedback. I did leave off the one wire for the load meter. I’ll take a look at the “book” and make sure I order the correct switch for the job.

I thought about the using the switch directly and may still do that. Using
the relay tied to the switch for the auxiliary alternator set it up so the
shunt selection would occur when the auxiliary ...

I have an SD-8 auxiliary alternator. I am using the Z-13 wiring scheme which has shunts for the primary and auxiliary alternator. I will be using a Dynon EMS. The Dynon has a single input for ammet ...
