I have been working on my electrical system for a while and feel that I I may be making things more complicated than they need to be. So far I have quite a few separate protected circuits and am wondering if some of these should be combined. Looking at the panel layout of other builders I have yet to see so many breakers/fuses.
Here is my current list:
Main Bus:
Position Lights
Anti Colision Lights
Taxi Light
Landing Light
Alternator Field
Starter Contactor
Avionics Master / E-Buss Primary
Flaps
Pitot Heat
CD/DVD Player
Instrument Lights
Flood Lights
Aux Power Outlet
Autopilot Servos
Pitch Trim - On Stick
Defrost Fan
Primer Valve
Boost Pump
Main Spare 1 (Unused)
Main Spare 2 (Unused)
Avionics / E-Buss
Glareshield Lights
Audio Panel
Comm 1
Transponder
EFIS
GPS 1 (Portable / Dock)
GPS 2 / Comm2 (Panel) - Unused for now
Avionics Cooling Fan
Headset Power
Avionics Spare 1 (Unused)
Battery Bus
Hobbs
Battery Contactor
E-Buss Alternate Feed
DVD Player Memory
In case you lost count by now, that is 34 circuits including 3 spares. Also note that the Main/E-Bus split isn't 100% decided yet. I am planning a combined avionics / E-Bus with the expectation of manual load shedding as required. I'll happily take input on the main v. E-Bus breakout also, but that is not the main concern in this post.
Thanks,
