12.3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

The Alternator
Rotax 912/912S: the alternator gives a nominal maximum current of 18 amps AC or voltages up to about 75
volts RMS with very low current. The nominal power rating is 250 Watts DC.
Power Wiring
The power wiring loom consists of insulated conductors inside a woven nylon sheath with a rubber connector
at the rear end and spade terminals at the front. A 2-core cable and switch for engine ignition control is also
included for each ignition circuit.
Note that airworthiness requirements specify that all electrical equipment attached to the wiring system must
be protected by overload protection devices and that no protective device may protect more than one circuit
essential to flight safety. To this end a multiway fuse holder is provided at the front of the aircraft for the
attachment of electrical equipment.
Operators wishing to fit equipment themselves must contact an Approved organisation for the necessary
modification approval. Details of all modifications should also be sent to the factory for authorisation.
Battery State Monitor
A single LED Battery State Monitor (BSM) may be fitted. When power is switched on, it conducts a brief
check sequence. It indicates as follows:
