and

When switched into the circuit, either regulator will adjust
alternator output to the required electrical load, including
battery recharging. Selection of the regulators is provided
by a two-position selector switch on the pilot's subpanel.
The alternators are protected by current limiters.
ALTERNATORS
(TH-1377 AND AFTER, AND AIRPLANES
EQUIPPEDWITH KIT NO. 55-3024)
Two standard 50-ampere, or optional 100-ampere, 28-volt,
gear-drivenalternators are individually controlled by alternator
control units which, regulate the voltage, balance the load and
provide overvoltage protection. Each alternator system is
controlled by a switch located on the subpanel.
I (TH-773AND AFTER)
Individual alternator output is indicated by two loadmeters
on the instrument panel. The loadmeters give a percentage
reading of the load on the system.
Two warning lights, placarded ALTERNATOR-L-R, located
in the floating instrument panel, will illuminate whenever
the respective alternator is disconnected from the bus by
low voltage or an over-voltage condition or with the switch
in the OFF position. On serials TH-1194 and after, the
lights will illuminate
jf the fuse on the AUX terminal of the
alternator is blown. Any time a failure is detected, the
appropriate
alternator
should
be
turned
OFF. The
AL
TERNATOR-L-R
lights
are
tested
by
the
TEST-BRT-DIM-WARN LIGHTS switch, located on the
pilot's floating instrument panel.
