electrical voltage / current

Post by helitom »

Hi Gentlemen,

i think the combiinstrument for V/A is not working concerning current, it shows always 12A, the voltage seems to be o.k., Generator on 28V, Gen off, dropping to Battery voltage of 24+V and decreasing slowly.
Any observation on this one?

Regards from sunny ETHB

It doesn't seem to take any of the lights into consideration, apart from the cockpit light.
I'm not sure why it's doing that, need to run some tests.
Cockpit light, pitot tube and radios do have an effect on the current as expected.
Smells like an M$ bug at first glance.

...but switching off the Generator doesn´t at all!

Hmm, what should switching off the generator do other than reducing voltage?
The gauge shows total load.

When switching on the generator it´s power is flowing towards the battery (for loading purposes)and to the power consumers (positive), when switching Gen off the flow is from the battery to the consumers (negative)!

Oh yes, my bad!
Honestly, I totally overlooked that.
It'll get patched, but may take a few weeks.

This is now solved with the upcoming service pack 1.
