N32WW had it's maiden flight yesterday. Taking care of a few squawks and I have one that doesn't make sense to me. It is on the alt field.
Open alt field switch (off position)- alternator charges. Closed alt field switch (on position) - no alternator charge.
Here's where my confusion is coming in. The switch is a 5 amp circuit breaker. It is the same style and type as all my light switches. It is installed in the same orientation that my other circuit breaker switches that work correctly. It would be a major PITA to flip it since one of the terminals that is slanted is connected to the buss bar. The other terminal goes to the master switch. When closed (on position) the master switch properly closes the master solenoid.
In summary, closing the circuit turns off the ALT FIELD. Leave it open, the alternator puts out. What gives?
