September 12, 2007 - Buses, Lightspeed

Blurry picture of the main and essential buses, on the subpanels direction behind the switches and avionics.  There's a diode between the main and essential buses.  It allows a one-way flow of trons from the main to the essential.  I bought red wire for my 16 AWG runs.  This is one of the few original ideas on this airplane.  I just like colors.  My coloring scheme is:

  • 22 AWG - White
  • 20 AWG - Yellow
  • 18 AWG - Green
  • 16 AWG - Red
 

I decided to my mount my Lightspeed processor on the left rib.  Not a lot of guidance here.  The instructions just say mount it in a secure, dry place. 

 
I ran the 16 AWG wire from the Essential bus to the Ess Bus Alternate Feed switch.  (Note:  later on I would make it longer so that I can pull the panel out if necessary.)
