Study Notes

Electrical System Overview

The system operates on direct current (DC) with a negative ground configuration.
Power generation is facilitated by two engine-driven alternators.
Electrical energy is stored in a battery for later use.

Alternator Protection

Each alternator features a control unit that includes a voltage regulator.
An overvoltage relay is integrated within the control unit to safeguard electrical and avionics equipment.
The relay activates in response to regulator malfunctions, preventing potential damage.

Lighting System for Night Operations

The lighting configuration includes:
- Nose-mounted landing light for visibility during takeoff and landing.
- Anti-collision lights to enhance aircraft visibility to others.
- Navigation lights assisting in positioning during flight.
- Instrument illumination for visibility of cockpit instruments in low light.
Further details on the lighting system can be found in Chapter 33.
