I am in the designing stage for a new electrical system for my Rotax 912S powered Europa and am using Z16 as the basis. By now I have a pretty thorough understanding of the philosophy of Z16, but one question keeps popping up in my mind:
Why is the positive side of the crowbar OV module connected to the 'downstream side' of the master switch?
In my reasoning I believe it to be more robust to connect the positive side of the OV module to the downstream side of the 5A C/B. This would take the master switch and the wire between C/B and master switch out as potential points of failure during an O/V situation: |
You can do that . . . it makes no significant difference.
