Subject: Ground Power Question
To: <nuckollsr(at)cox.net>
Bob,
I have constructed your ground power system using your low cost ground
power diagram.
I would like to take the system one step further and install a power supply
that I would plug into a 110v outlet and power the aircraft while testing
in my hanger.
My aircraft is a RV10 with your dual electrical system design.
I have purchased these items (see below) and am planning to tap the 12volt
output of the power supply into the piper ground power jack. I would like
to mount the power supply into the aircraft and use an IEC connector and
power cord to power the supply.
Do you see any reason why what I am proposing would not work or is a bad idea.
A permanent installation? Why carry the weight around?
Why not just plug the external power into the ground
power jack when it's needed and leave it behind other
times.
I am just going to be powering the radios and EFIS to learn the systems
while on the ground.
Please advise…..Thanks…..
12V (at) 12.5A 150W POWERSUPPLY1 POWER SUPPLY
IEC FEMALE CHASSIS CONNECTOR
9FT IEC POWER CORD
What you propose would function but I'm skeptical as to
the value of installing such an accessory permanently
on the airplane.
Also, you might want ot consider acquiring a power supply
designed to emulate a vehicle's alternator/battery system.
These are 13.8 volt power supplies and widely available in
many sizes.
Check on e-bay and use '13.8' 'power' and 'supply' as search
terms. Here's a couple of good candidates:
