AVS 1230 Aircraft Systems Laboratory 1 | P a g e Project 5 Fall 2023 Electrical Components and Systems Purpose: Understand the operation of electrical components including batteries, switches, relays, circuit breakers and motors. Describe the operating principles of generators and alternators. Analyze aircraft electrical systems. Reference: FAA-H-8083-31A Chapter 9 Aircraft Electrical System pages 9-5/9; 9-47/51; 9-96/101 Aircraft Publications Activities: Part 1: Cirrus Electrical System Use the Cirrus SR20 Pilot’s Operating Handbook in your EFB Tool Kit to answer the following questions. 1. Both alternators require voltage from the for operation. 2. What black box on the engine firewall controls the output of the alternators? (Pick One) A. The MCU B. The CDU C. The APU 3. Power distribution for the SR20 comes from the distribution bus and the distribution bus. 4. What are the switches are located on the pilot side bolster panel and are associated with electrical power distribution? A. B. C. D. E.
AVS 1230 Aircraft Systems Laboratory 2 | P a g e Questions: (Use FAA-H-8083-31A Chapter 9 Aircraft Electrical System pages 9-5/9-20;9-28/34, 9-47/51; 9-96/101 the textbook) 1. What are the two sources of electricity in light aircraft? 2. A battery generates electricity based on a reaction. 3. Electromagnetic induction is the process of producing a voltage (emf) by moving a in relationship to a . 4. What are the 2 most common Voltages used in aircraft battieries? 5. Which component rotates in a DC generator, the magnet or the armature? 6. T or F . An aircraft DC generator requires battery input to function. 7. Why do aircraft alternators require battery power to function? 8. Aircraft alternators work on the principle that rotating a magnet inside a conductor will produce flow in that conductor. 9. An aircraft generator utilizes a magnet and an aircraft alternator utilizes a magnet. 10. Why do electrical components like engine starters, alternators, and batteries have relays to control their operation? 11. What is the difference between a circuit breaker and a fuse? 12. What is the purpose of using a circuit breaker in an electrical system? 13. General Aviation aircraft typically utilize this type of battery: (Pick One) a. Lead acid b. Lithium c. Nickel Cadnium
