I used “standard” electronic 12v converters, available at Radio
Shack or any electronic parts store
I used a bigger converter that I got from Lancair which feeds
everything that wants 12V.
It popped the breaker one day. I was very glad I hadn't
fused it. Hasn't happened again.
In retrospect, I would be happier if there were nothing hung off
that converter but, say, the pitch trim.
What is "stall current". Is that max
current? Do you think it's down around an amp or two?
Colyn,
I don’t have the equipment to accurately measure the actual
current load just before the trim motor stalls (under load), but I’m guessing
its between one and two amps based on the measurements I was able to take.
Although this is a bit above the rated power for the 12 volt converters, this
current lasts for only a very brief period and didn’t seem to hurt the other
electronic components. In practice, I don’t intend that the trim motor stall
under load; this was just my “worst case” test scenario.
