Thread-Index: AcdwkRd6LX9w1V4PQnmaDOFmowXmPwADHVWQ From: "Lancair" X-Original-Sender: "Robert Simon" X-Original-To: "Lancair Mailing List" There is a new offering from the RDD guys in Redmond. Besides their de-ice system (hot stuff!) they are selling also a dual bus alternative (snip below from their Web site: Electri-X(tm) by RDD Electri-X is an advanced electrical system specifically developed for the unique demands of the experimental aircraft builder. Electri-X consists of two independent systems that are redundant in every aspect. The critical difference between dual and redundant is that many aircraft with dual electrical systems generally have a lesser back-up electric system that cannot operate all standard systems. Electri-X redundancy means that both electrical systems are equal in form and function- meaning that either system is fully capable of powering all standard equipment independently. Electri-X by RDD offers a level of electrical power delivery redundancy usually only found on twin-engine or very high-end piston singles. Dual 60 amp alternators, dual 15 amp hour batteries, dual busses and dual wiring harnesses ensure that an electrical emergency will not force you to shed power, pull breakers, turn off critical standard systems or fly a partial panel in the event of an electrical emergency.=20 Web site: http://www.rddent.com/products.html=20 E-mail to: david.mcrae@rddent.com =09 Just another option. =20 -----Original Message----- From: Lancair Mailing List [mailto:lml@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Dan Ballin Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 12:56 PM Subject: [LML] Essential Bus?? I am (like a lot of us) doing a dual alt/dual battery system. 70 amp alt as a main with a 20 amp alt as an Aux. =20
