overtorque Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi there, I started brainstorming: I want to upgrade the instrument panel, that's why I need to upgrade the electrical system of my lez. Unfortunatly I don't have the technical documentation of my future equipements and I will be happy if anyone knows which breaker I must fit to protect the following boxes: little efis Dynon D10A audio panel GMA 240 VHF/NAV KX125 VHF KY97A transponder FILSER TRT800 GPS garmin 496 Auto pilot Dynon (AP74+servos) Any help will be much appreciated OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickh Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 'Lectric Bob is a fountain of knowledge. If you can buy his book in the EU, by all means do. Not intending to patronize... A fuse or circuit breaker is designed to protect the wire, not the end device. The fuse/breaker is sized to the wire, and the wire is sized to the amp load of the end device. Generally, a 22ga wire gets a 5 amp fuse/breaker maximum, an 18ga wire gets a 10 amp fuse/breaker maximum. The fuse/breaker should be as close to the battery (or source of power) as possible. If the wire (or end device) shorts out, the fuse/breaker will blow, preventing a cabin full of smoke and flames.

miketdrew Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I have been using the Anywhere Map Control Vision EXP DC Load center bus system for the past seven years with no problems, saved 7.5# when I switched out my old electrical system. I have the backup battery and Indicator panel options. http://www.anywheremap.com/detail.aspx?ID=10 Mike N840EZ VariEze 235 500hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overtorque Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Many thanks for all input. Now I have some bases to start drawing my electrical system. If anyone has one to share it would be welcome One question for Miketdrew: What would happen if a failure occur with the Anywhere Map Control Vision EXP DC? Do you lose all the electrical system or just the offending circuit? It seems to be very easy to wire.... OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 If anyone has one to share it would be welcome Check out www.iflyez.comWaiter has detailed a ton of information om many aspects of the EZ including wiring diagrams.

miketdrew Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well anything can fail, my old electrical system had a few failures. But, that's why I went for the battery backup option (thinking of dual EI in the future). The Indicator panel (annunciator) shows where a fault might be or the circuit tripped. A very compact system, which you can add components later. It has been problem free so far and has worked but perfect for my flight profile of day/night VFR. Hard IFR is another matter.
