Dear fellows,

I flew from Houston to north Louisiana on  Sunday.  My Alt. Field Circuit
Breaker opened three times on the flight.

 

Rene;

 

What size CB to the alt field?  When the gear pump cycles the voltage
regulator will kick on in response to the voltage drop, resulting in a bit
of a surge in the alt field and alt output. 7.5 - 10A breaker on alt field
will be good for 80 amp alt.

 

Battery in good condition?  Engine cranks well?  Maybe loose connection
somewhere.

 

Al
