Good day All,
I'm looking for information.....not wanting to start any wars....so I'll ask
my question nicely.
Would this situation give credence to running a 24v aircraft system? Most
aircraft electronics will accept voltages from 10 to 32 volts, so if this were
to
happen in an aircraft running a 24v system you would have much more reserve.
An alternator shut down on a 12v system leaves you only 2 volts from
electronic shutdown, whereas with a 24v system you have a lot more reserve to
safely
get the aircraft down. Also, the electronics usually draws half the current in
a
24v system, thereby further increasing your reserve. And with less current
draw, smaller wire could be used thereby saving $ and weight.
Am I on the right path in my thinking? What am I missing?
