over-voltage

[edasmus]

Thanks Mark...

I have been meaning to update for the last day or two but just been short of time. The voltage has been successfully set to 28.5 volts. We also found signs of arcing on the master switch contacts so that was replaced. One alternator circuit breaker was replaced because of wandering resistance or voltage variations through it. You could tap the breaker and watch the variations on the meter. A diode was also added to the landing gear power pack because a consistent "pop" was heard when the gear hit the stops on the up cycle. That was the moment I was getting the over-voltage system to trip off the alternators. Since this work has been completed, the electrical system has been behaving normally. Nothing but the sound of silence in my headset other then the voice of the friendly ATC. I have about 6 or 7 hours on it in the last week with no problems so she is slowly regaining my confidence.
