[Chris Barber]

May be too basic to mention but have you read the Aeroelectric Connection by Bob Knuckles available for download at http://www.aeroelectric.com along with all sorts of other information

If you are using the VP unit, I don't believe you need a "bus bar" or similar, as everything will have it's power lead going to the VP.

Take a look at the VP website. They have a whole section on planning your electrical system, complete with sample circuit diagrams.

Also, EAA website has a good overview (PDF) which you should read.

It's not hard to build your own, or you can buy something like this:

I'm starting work on the electrical system. I could use some recommendations on what to purchase (or how to make) these items and where you installed them:


*         Main bus

*         Main ground block

*         Firewall ground block

*         Avionics ground

I'm going to use the Vertical Power system for switching & circuit breakers so a combination bus/CB system won't be necessary. Should I just buy some copper bar and drill screw-holes in it? Is there a good, basic bus product that works well? Where did you mount it and how did you protect the power buses from accidental grounding?

Thanks!
