I have a 4 blade MT
prop with de-ice boots on my IV-P. I have not confirmed the current draw
but for this discussion lets say each boot pulls 5 amps at 24 volts. So if
all 4 blades were on and working, the total current draw would be 20 amps.
I would like to obtain an electronic device that would measure the current
draw and trigger a warning light and thus a voice warning in my Master
Warning System Display if the de-ice switch was on and the current draw was less
than 18 amps. The goal is to prevent one blade from tuning into a frozen
stump and causing a big prop imbalance. Please help this electronically
challenged mechanical engineer.
