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 Batteries 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 main distribution bus and the essential distribution bus. 4. What are the switches are located on the pilot side bolster panel and are associated with electrical power distribution? A. Master Switch B. Avionics Power Switch C. Pilot Heat D. Exterior Lighting Switch E. Interior Lighting Switch
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? The battery and an engine-driven generator or alternator 2. A battery generates electricity based on a chemical reaction. 3. Electromagnetic induction is the process of producing a voltage (emf) by moving a conductor in relationship to a magnet . 4. What are the 2 most common Voltages used in aircraft batteries? 12V and 24V 5. Which component rotates in a DC generator, the magnet or the armature? The armature 6. T or F . An aircraft DC generator requires battery input to function. False. It is needed to start, but once the engine is started, the generator is self-sustaining 7. Why do aircraft alternators require battery power to function? They need battery power to be started, but once the engine spinning, the alternators begin producing electricity without the battery 8. Aircraft alternators work on the principle that rotating a magnet inside a conductor will produce electrical flow in that conductor. 9. An aircraft generator utilizes a DC magnet and an aircraft alternator utilizes a DC magnet. 10. Why do electrical components like engine starters, alternators, and batteries have relays to control their operation? They can handle higher amounts of current 11. What is the difference between a circuit breaker and a fuse? A circuit breaker can be taken out and put back in multiple times and not need replacement, but fuses can only be taken out once before they’re replaced 12. What is the purpose of using a circuit breaker in an electrical system? To protect the electrical system from overloading and damaging the system 13. General Aviation aircraft typically utilize this type of battery: (Pick One)
