Overvoltage control
Bill,
It is the Z-14 schematic from Bob Nuckolls
book The Aero Electric Connection. See www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Rev11/AppZ_R11C.pdf
Print out the two halves of Z-14 and tape them together and it will make
a lot more sense. It uses three contactors, a main battery contactor, an
aux. battery contactor, and a crossfeed contactor. Each is controlled
from an S700-2-10 OFF/ON/ON switch on the panel. What is neat is that the
same switch that operates the contactor also operates the respective alternator
field lead. This saves space on the panel. There is a third
S700-2-5 ON/OFF/(ON) switch that operates the x-feed contactor (down position)
as well as the starter contactor (up position), saving more panel space.
Credit for the design goes to Bob Nuckolls.
