Hi, I noticed the Alt Volt warning light today for the second time (it happened also a week ago and I executed the steps described here and thought the problem was gone) when I started the engine and turned the Alternator on. I tried resetting the associated circuit breakers but that did not ch...

Has anyone added a second alternator to an "E" model. I am continuing to upgrade my E and it concerns me that I am so dependent upon the single alternator, especially if in IMC. I am also playing with the idea of adding real air-conditioning (portable/removable) because I find the temperature insi...

I have a 77 201 and have been experiencing an intermittent electrical problem for some time. When this issue occurs, maybe every 3rd or 4th flight, the alternator will stop charging leaving the plane to operate on battery power. Usually when I notice this I can recycle the master switch a couple...

About half way from KBTL to KOWB to attend a MAPA PPP session, the alternator field circuit breaker popped. I shut the field switch off, and reset the breaker, turned the field switch back on. In about 5-10 minutes the breaker popped again. I repeated the reset process. I told myself if it happened...

My 2000 Ovation has the standby alternator installed, and I'm glad to have it in my all-electric plane. If the main 100 ampere alternator fails the backup 20 amp alternator can be switched on. If necesary the pilot may pull the battery circuit breaker and then the 20A alternator feeds on...

What brand alternator to buy? 2 years and 4 months ago, I replaced the alternator and regulator in my 1975 E model with a solid state regulator and a "Plane Power" alternator. Notice I said 2 years and 4 months. That is 4 months out of warranty and the noise (ac ripple) coming out of that...

Hi folks. Just bought a 1974 M20F. Love it after only 10 hours of flight, but I have noticed something unusual with the battery charging system. Every once in a while the battery alert comes on in the jpi 700 and the auto pilot turns off due to insufficient charge. Concord battery is 2 years old...

Yesterday I tested the Standby Alternator in my Ovation 2 29-0363 (905 hours TTIS) all according to the published procedure, and it failed. To track down the fault the top cowl was removed, the prop rotated by hand, and we found the alternator was not rotating, so the problem seems to be the shear... -
Can someone help? Last weekend on my way home from Niagara Falls I lost charging. I turned off everything except the radio an transponder. I only lost 0.2 volts for a 45 min flight. It looks like the adjusting link broke and hit the alternator fan. The fan came apart and put the alternato...

My K Model has two 80 amp alternators (two regulators as well). Amp loads are read from the digital Electronics International MVP-50. In flight, I'll get a warning a slight discharge (0.08 Amps) which is corrected when I take the #2 alternator off line. Both alternators test fine during run up when... -

I have a 1980 M20J that had a Plane Power Alternator installed in it before I purchased the aircraft. It still has the same voltage regulator and my mechanics are having hell getting the voltage to stay between 13.0 and 14.5. I am getting very erratic swings on my ammeter (from -30 to +30) and it se... -
I have had my Bravo for 3.5 years now, and in that time I have learned my share about the various aircraft systems. My latest learning experience resulted from the failure of my left alternator. I thought I would pass on the symptoms of the failure so others may also learn from what I observed....

So, I mentioned briefly in another post that my vacation flight to St. Simons Island became a vacation drive when the electrical system went south (without me!). The symptom was that I was showing now alternator output and the Low Voltage annunciator light and JPI voltage alarm were flashing, and no...

Does anyone have any tips for removing the alternator on a 231 (-LB)? The SMM says: NOTE The main alternator is very difficult to remove. The lower engine firewall mount bolts may require loosening,the upper bolts may require removal and the engine pivoted around the lower attach points....

Does anyone know what the P/N is of the alternator belt used in a vintage Mooney that was upgraded from a generator? I have a '66 E, the PO had an alternator upgrade done and my prop is being overhauled and I'd like to change the belt out while the prop is off. I think I heard that the alt...
