ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The J160/J170 has a 12 volt electrical system consisting of a 12 volt battery,
starter motor, regulator, alternator with a nominal 14 volt output, electric flap,
electric fuel boost pump, circuit breakers, oil temperature gauge, optional
strobe lights, switches and related wiring.
The electrical system is constructed as a dual bus system.
An instrument bus, powered from the main bus, powers the instruments and
radios.
The master bus powers all other electrical systems in addition to the
instrument bus.
The master switch (mounted on the lower left hand side of the instrument
panel) controls power to the main bus.
Another switch controls the connection between the main bus and the
instrument bus.
The Master bus connects with the battery. The feed from the alternator goes
to the battery, which acts as a filter, reducing noise in the bus system. All
other switches are located along the lower left side of the panel. The circuit
breakers are fitted along the lower right side of the instrument panel.
A warning light connected to the regulator illuminates to provide an
indication should the alternator cease charging. The regulator delivers a
regulated nominal 14 volts to the aircraft battery.
NOTE
•
The master switches are not switch breakers and their circuits are
protected by circuit breakers found in the lower right side of the
instrument panel.
