GENERAL.
This chapter deals with the complete electrical system and provides service procedures and a trouble-shooting
guide to be used to remedy problems which may arise.
Electrical generation, distribution and storage are covered, as well as the optional external power facility.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION.
Electrical energy is generated by two engine-driven 60 ampere alternators or 70 ampere alternators for aircraft
serial numbered 44-95001 and up, and stored in a 12 volt, 35 amp, hour battery. The battery is used for starting
and as a reserve power supply in case of alternator failure. The system is D.C. and has a negative ground.
Access to the battery is gained by opening the hinged fiberglass nose which tips forward and down.
The electrical and avionic equipment is protected from regulator malfunction by an overvoltage relay. The
individual circuits are protected from overloads and shorts by resettable circuit breakers located on the right side
of the instrument panel.
The lighting system for night operation is optional and consists of a nose mounted landing light, anti-collision
