Chapter 7 Aircraft Control Circuitry
**** Hidden Message ***** <P>Chapter 7<BR>Aircraft Control Circuitry<BR>POWER CIRCUITS<BR>Figure 7-1.<BR>Battery Circuit<BR>A clipping diode is installed across the coil of the<BR>solenoid to eliminate spikes of voltage that are<BR>induced when the master switch is opened and the<BR>magnetic field from the coil collapses. The resulting<BR>spikes of voltage from a solenoid or relay coil may<BR>cause damage to sensitive electronic components if<BR>they are not controlled by a clipping diode. The diode<BR>simply isolates, or blocks, the induced voltage from<BR>flowing into the bus side of the electrical system,<BR>thereby protecting the electronic components from the<BR>high voltage.<BR>Figure 7-1 Battery Circuit<BR>Most aircraft have some components that<BR>require power all the time, whether the master<BR>switch is on or not. These low-current items,<BR>such as clocks and flight-hour meters, are<BR>connected to the main terminal of the battery<BR>solenoid, and supply current to these<BR>components anytime a charged battery is<BR>installed in the aircraft. These circuits often<BR>employ a fuse to protect the circuit.<BR>GENERATOR CIRCUIT<BR>Figure 7-2.

The internal circuit of a typical light-aircraft<BR>DC alternator<BR>Figure 7-6. A typical light-aircraft Dc alternator system<BR> The overvoltage warning light turns on when<BR>the master switch is first closed, and it turns<BR>off when the engine is started and the<BR>alternator produces the correct amount of<BR>voltage.<BR> If the voltage gets too high, the overvoltage<BR>protector opens the alternator field circuit,<BR>which turns on the overvoltage protector<BR>opens the alternator field circuit, which turns<BR>on the overvoltage warning light, showing<BR>that the alternator has been shut off because<BR>of an overvoltage condition.<BR> The capacitor installed between the battery<BR>input of the voltage regulator and ground<BR>acts as a shock absorber. During operation,<BR>the electric motors in the aircraft can<BR>produce a spike of voltage in the electrical<BR>system high enough for the overvoltage<BR>protector to sense, which prompts it to open<BR>the alternator field circuit, shutting off the<BR>alternator. To prevent this, the capacitor<BR>absorbs the spike so it will not trip the<BR>overvoltage protector.<BR>A typical aircraft ground-power circuit<BR>Starter circuits<BR>LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT</P><P> The squat switch in the circuit is mounted on<BR>one of the structs so that it’s in one position<BR>when the air plane weight is on the landing<BR>gear, and in the other position when there in<BR>no weight on the wheels. The purpose of the<BR>squat switch in this circuit is to prevent the<BR>gear from being retracted while the aircraft is<BR>still on the ground. The hydraulic pressure<BR>switch is used to turn off the pump motor in<BR>the event hydraulic pressure exceeds its<BR>limits.<BR>net EMF<BR>net EMF<BR> If any of the limit switches are in a NOT UP or<BR>a NOT DOWN position, a red UNSAFE light will<BR>illuminate. But when the landing gear selector<BR>switch is in the LANDING GEAR DOWN<BR>position and all three gears are down and<BR>locked, the light will be out.<BR> Also, if the selector switch is in the LANDING<BR>GEAR UP position and all three gears are in the<BR>up position, the light will be out. If the airplane<BR>is on the ground with the squat switch in the<BR>GROUND position, and the landing gear<BR>selector switch is moved to the LANDING<BR>GEAR UP position, the warning horn will sound,<BR>but the landing gear pump motor will not run.<BR>END OF CHAPTER 7</P> 这个东东真好
