Hi - Looking for critiques of our RV-10 power wiring diagram. I've put together multiple block diagrams including ones based on Z-13, Z-14, and Z-101. However, Bill Judge forwarded me a presentation that he gave that included a "get home" configuration that seemed really interesting. We're keeping it at a block diagram level now and will go into further detail once we get general consensus on the block diagram. We've also been debating a Z-14 approach.
As background, my partner and I are coming from a C-182 club where we lost an alternator approximately every six months. We had alternator failures at night, in IMC (2X), first thing on an engine break-in flight, on a commercial check ride, and my partner was stranded on a long cross-country. So, we are looking to create a very robust system as we fly a fair amount of IFR and we are very sensitive to alternator failures based on prior experience.
Things we have decided on already (we have done our research on these items) - dual ETX batteries, VPX, 60A primary alternator, 30A Monkworkz backup generator, P-MAGs.
The top image is a slide from the Bill Judge presentation. The bottom is our block diagram that we are hoping to get feedback on. Any mistakes in implementing Bill's circuit are completely my own.
