Hi Guys,
I have PlanePower AL12-EI60/B in an electric airplane RV7, with 220 hours on it.
Yesterday during flight the Alternator Out Lamp started flickering ON and OFF and then Finally stayed ON. Now though it is indicating the Alternator circuit OUT permanently the Alternator IS CHARGING, viewable on my Amp Meter.
I have not been able to open up and check yet, so I thought it easy to ask online first so that I go armed with information next weekend in search of the fault.
Is this an early indicator the alternator is going to break? Or how can I go about finding the ALTERNATOR OUT LAMP fault? Anyone Experience this before?
Thank you
Rudi
