2.6.3 Electrical Load Worksheet
Both the VHF comm transceiver and the coupler consume more power in
transmit mode than in receive mode. For the airplane installation,
identify the VHF comm equipment to which the coupler will be
connected.
1)
Review the specifications for the VHF comm transceiver to
determine the power consumption in both transmit mode
(intermittent operation) and receive mode (continuous
operation).
2)
Add the power consumption for the coupler in each mode.
3)
Review the circuit breaker and electrical wiring ratings for the
combined electrical load to ensure that the installation
complies with the guidance of Advisory Circular 43.13-1B,
Chapter 11.
