ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (Continued)
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Individual system circuit breakers are found on the switch/circuit
breaker panel. All circuit breakers on this panel are capable of being
opened, or disengaged from the electrical system, by pulling straight
out on the outer ring for emergency electrical load management. Using
the circuit breaker as a switch is discouraged since the practice will
decrease the life of the circuit breaker.
The relay panel, located forward of the firewall, contains three circuit
breakers associated with the alternator, main power feeder, and
secondary power feeder. The alternator and main power circuit
breakers are capable of being reset in flight by momentarily pushing the
MAIN CB RESET switch located on the switch/circuit breaker panel.
Pushing the MAIN CB RESET switch activates the reset solenoids
contained in the relay panel.
EXCESSIVE ACTIVATION OF THE MAIN CB RESET
SWITCH WILL DECREASE SOLENOID LIFE.
Activation of the MAIN CB RESET switch is not required during normal
preflight operation.
