 |
|
I have had 55 hours of flying with no electrical problems until now! Recently I saw something in flight that bothered me.
My panel lights started flickering a bit and the (Electronics
International) voltmeter showed varying voltages anywhere from 12.3
volts up to 14 volts ... kind of erratically. Then the "Discharge"
light on the voltmeter lit up. Then the "Low Voltage" light coming
from my voltage regulator lit up.
I have the B & C Solid State Voltage Regulator (Model LR3C-14) and the B & C L-60 Alternator.
Upon touch down and roll out everything went back to normal. No
"discharge" no "low voltage". I checked connections and everything
seems normal. I can't get it to act up on the ground.
Any ideas?

Tom,
Have you checked the belt on your alternator?
