Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: EC-2 Breakers

 

Al,

Since you’re running the same basic engine & electrical system as I am, can you tell me what size breakers you used for your coils (assuming you separated them into 3 - leading, and 3 - trailing).  Also, I would appreciate the same for the injectors and fuel pumps (walbro).

Mark;

 

I run fuses for the injectors and coils, and yes, they are separated leading, trailing and pri, sec.  I had 15 A for each circuit until John (or someone) blew a 15 amp fuse in the coil circuit, so I went to 20 A for the coils.  Also currently have 15 A for the fuel pump 2 (backup) and run a 10 A breaker for pump 1.  Probably a bit of overkill on the fuses, but because of the long runs in my canard I’m running #16 wire, so it is still good protection.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Al
