Analysis - GlaStar
using Z13/8 architecture

I finished an initial version of my electrical load analysis. I'd like
to get some feedback on this from the list.

Minor amounts, but you appear to be missing the loads for the voltage
regulators, essential bus relay and SD-8 relay. What about an
avionics fan ?

Jeff,
Thanks I'll add those items. I'm going to go without the cooling fan initially and see how the avionics fare. I might have to add later.

For those planning IFR w/ similar equipment....it looks like the LC-60 amp alternator is a must due to the high current consumption of the pitot heat, navigation, strobe, and landing lights.

For anyone who has not yet purchased equipment you'll want to buy LED style, and maybe the Gretz Aero pitot heat system to keep the amps down.

I'm going to switch to the B&C LC-60 amp alternator and plan for a max continuous electrical load of 80-85% or 48 to 51 amps.

Howard
