 Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:41 pm Post subject: Can I ground starter switch at panel? |
 |
|
Would it be acceptable to feed 12V to the coil of my Rotax 914 starter relay and only run 1 wire back to my panel mounted starter switch (looking for ground)?
I have power very close to starter relay, and ground very close to starter switch.

Sure. Engine cranking systems are intermittent
use, short duration, almost never used in flight.
As the most demanding system on the airplane with
respect to power, it's also the most disruptive
of the otherwise quiet and orderly world of
battery powered systems. We don't generally expect
everything on the airplane to operate unperturbed
during a cranking event. We DO expect a graceful
recovery to normal operations afterward.
So as a general rule, the simplest recipe for
wiring the starter system that functions as needed
is the elegant solution.
