I think the Aeroelectric Connection Z-14, combined with attendance at the SportAir workshop on Avionics and Electrical Systems, purchasing good tools, and using high quality components, were all ingredients in my effort to build a reliable, redundant electrical system. I have LED indicators on my panel attached to the two B&C voltage regulators. I think the dual bus, crossfeed setup is excellent. But the key is the pilot needs to REALLY understand how it works. Unlike the Columbia system, the Z-14 requires the pilot to DO SOMETHING when a low voltage light comes on. Right now the procedures are all tucked away in my head, but the right thing to do is document all the various failure modes and add procedures to our POHs.
