The electrical system incorporates a multiple
bus system for power distribution. The system
is interconnected by relays, current limiters,
overload sensor, and circuit breakers which au-
tomatically react to isolate a malfunctioning
bus. It is possible to power the entire DC and
AC electrical systems from the airplane bat-
teries, a single engine-driven generator, or a
GPU. In the event of a double generator fail-
ure the batteries may be used for a limited
time. An optional emergency battery system
can be used to power a standby attitude indi-
cator and the gear, flaps, and spoilers. A sec-
ond emergency battery may be installed to
power a standby directional gyro.
There are certain circuits which are powered
from the batteries with the battery and gener-
ator switches turned off. The “hot-wired”
items that are connected to the batteries are:
• Left stall warning
• Cabin door motor
• Entry lights
• Right stall warning
• Firewall shutoff valve warning lights

INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers the electrical power systems for SNs 24-230 through 24-357, 25-061,
and 25-070 through 25-373.
DC electrical power on the Lear 20 series airplanes is provided by two engine-driven
starter generators. Backup DC electrical power is supplied by two batteries. A ground
power receptacle allows connection of the ground power unit. Ground power may be used
for system operation or engine starting. AC electrical power is provided by two or three
solid-state inverters located in the tailcone.
