OK, staring at Z-13 for hours has diminished the fog somewhat, but a few
questions remain
(1)For my RV-7A, I was planning on putting my main and e-bus fuse panels on
the right hand side of the subpanel. But what about the battery bus? Z-13
suggests that the battery bus be located within six inches of the battery
contactor, which in my case, is on the firewall. This appears to limit my
battery bus location to the firewall as well, no? Guess I could live with
that, except that its my understanding that fuses necessary for flight
safety be accessible during flight. Since electronic ignition and e-bus
alt feed come from the battery bus, wouldnt the firewall location be a
no-no?
(2) Im using a GRT EFIS, which comes with one Hall-effect sensor. I
believe this can replace the shunt for the main alternator B-lead on Z-13.
Is is possible and practical that the same sensor can also go around the
lead for the backup SD-8 PM alternator, since both alternators wont be
operating at the same time, or do I need two separate Hall-effect sensors?
thanks guys
