ALTERNATOR
A 70-ampere, 12-volt, gear-driven alternator is standard
equipment. The alternator is designed to maintain approxi-
mately 70-ampere output at 1700 rpm, and supply ap-
proximately 20 amperes at engine idle speed.
A transistorized voltage regulator adjusts alternator out-
put to the required electrical load, including battery re-
charging. Charge or discharge of the battery is indicated by
the ammeter. A zero reading, which is normal for cruising
flight, indicates that the battery is fully charged and that al-
ternator output has been adjusted by the voltage regulator
to balance the load of the electrical equipment in use.
The alternator field circuit breaker is located on the right
sub-panel and the alternator output circuit breaker is in-
stalled on the left side of the nose wheel well cover. The al-
terr:iator-out warning light can be tested on the V35B by
the warning test switch on the instrument panel and by
the press-to-test feature on the V35 and V35A. If a mal-
function occurs the light will illuminate. See the EMER-
GENCY PROCEDURES section.
Refer to the HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Section for minor maintenance of the alternator.
EXTERNAL POWER RECEPTACLE
The external power receptacle accepts a standard AN type
plug. Before connecting an external power unit turn
alternator switch and avionic equipment OFF.
