 Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 9:10 am Post subject: Electrical system planning |
 |
|
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 considering the EFII electronic fuel and ignition system. Obviously the electrical system design would be paramount to the success of this system. What is the opinion of the group on the best design idea to follow? The z13-8 with the sd-8 alternator and a single battery? The z19 with dual battery and electronic ignition, or just throw my hands up in the air and pick up the bus manager system that EFII sells?
I'm leaning toward the z13-8 but I've got a question on what would happen if a battery were to short internally. Would the alternator or backup alternator continue to supply power to the busses to power the engine electronics?
Like I said, early stages here. Any advice is very welcomed.

I can't comment on the battery shorting internally other than it is an
extremely rare occurrence especially if you follow Bob's advice of replacing
your battery on a regular basis.
Here is what Bob's says in his latest version of the book.
"If I were building an airplane today, my ship would be fitted with Figure
Z-13/8 electrical system with an 18 AH battery and dual Emagair ignition
systems. I can deduce no other configuration that delivers more value."
