Electrical Schematic on Excel

[Webb]

Thanks to Kahuna for his help for getting a link, here is the electrical schematic that I drew on Excel for my RV.

http://www.teamrv.us/deletesoon/webbelectrical.pdf

A few notes:

Circuit breakers are on the left side. I used a 50 amp switch/cb for the avionics master. Pull breaker on the trim and auto pilot.

Right side of schematic are 2, 14-post terminal blocks. This was done so I can easily remove the panel later on. Mags leads go to a 6 lead terminal block for same reason. Mag shields not shown for clarity and allows for a 30ohm transitor jump for the Dynon EMS.

To pull the panel now, all I have to do is unplulg the EMS, un plug the auto pilot, disconnect the vacum lines, radio lines, and the 2 wires that are hot coming from the alternator to the big breaker orthe return to the buss bar from the ammeter shunt. Everything else is just a removal of 33 screws from the 3 terminal blocks.

As I get grayer and my gray matter gets less, I knew that I couldn't remember how everything was wired later on in case of repair, trouble, repair, etc.... Also, in case I have an A/P or another RVer work on the plane they will need to know (or heaven forbid I sell the plane).

Feel free to tear it up and let me know if you see any problems - now is the time to let me know. If you like it, I can send the Excel file to you email and you can modify it as you need/see fit.

I have played with some of the CAD programs to document my wiring, but they just seem to hard to learn.

I know Excel and use it all the time at work. I would like to see if I could document my wiring with you Excel file as a starting point.

Of course replace the [] stuff above.

Gerrry, Larre, David, and Kent

Email - bombs away.

Let me know if you have any questions. Also included a front pic and 2 back picks of what the buss looks like prior to wiring.

Please look it over VERY carefully and see if you spot ANYTHING that look suspicious to you or if you have recommendations. I'm almost ready to set the panel in place and now is the time.
