Electrical Help
in General Tech Discussion
7 years ago
Hi Rob and Michael or anyone else that may have had this issue,
This is a copy and paste. Any ideas on this?
" I need your advice on an electrical issue
(overcharging) that has plagued NXXXX on and off for maybe a couple of years
now but has made the airplane pretty much useless since July. I really
don't know if this is one underlying problem or several unrelated since we
replaced the rectifier and a melted connector once when it first happened.
The com radio smoked sometime after that and was sent to Garmin for repair.
This year I had intermittent overcharging indications that were just
occasional but in July would happen after warmup and half way downwind. Two
subsequent test flights after my tech worked on it went 1) no difference
(I.e. Started overcharging after warmup/runup and turn to downwind) and 2)
started happening as soon as I started the engine. This happened this past
Monday afternoon."
