Share your completed Electrical System Diagrams

A repository of lessons learned from builders with technical guidance and best practices. This is a project of the Sonex Builders and Pilots Foundation.
Forum rules
Lessons-learned submissions follow a standardized format designed to identify the issue, draw out the relevant factors and present useful guidance to others facing a similar situation. The submitter answers the following 5 questions:

1) What went wrong (or right), and why?
2) What were the shortcomings, and why did they exist?
3) What actions were taken to fix the problem?
4) What preventive actions should be taken into account for future efforts?
5) What overall recommendations should be made for future projects?

The length of the write-up and amount of detail presented are left up to each individual. Some lessons learned can be perfectly conveyed in a few simple sentences, while others will require much more. The goal is to be as clear and succinct as possible, not to generate literary masterpieces!

All posts submitted to this forum are held in a review queue for approval by a moderator. Information in the posts will be reviewed, vetted, and modified as needed before going public. Additionally, any replies that are submitted would also be reviewed to ensure they add value and remain on topic. This will avoid normal threat drift of general discussions.

Sonex Builders,

Share your completed and finalized electrical system diagrams here. Reviewing completed diagrams from other users is an excellent way to prepare a diagram for your own project. Help future builders develop their own diagrams by contributing to this archive.

Rules for posting:
1) Completed diagrams only; no works-in-progress.
2) When posting the diagrams, attach them to your response. Acceptable file formats include pdf, picture formats (jpg, tif, etc), or cad formats (dwg).
3) Add text descriptions if needed. The idea is to create a resource that stands alone.
4) Any questions or discussion that is generated from this thread should be taken to a separate message thread.
5) If changes or additions are needed to the user's original message, please edit that post rather than create a new reply.

Thanks to everyone for contributing!

Jeff

Generic Sonex-specific wiring diagrams based on Bob Nuckolls AeroElectric Connection "Z-figures". These have been proven highly reliable and are an excellent place to start your specific design.

Here are a few others to add to the archive that have been previously posted.

Chris Dillman (Waiex # 079): He shows a way to use a traditional key switch (L-R-Both-Start) with an AeroVee. This is tricky because you need to use a dual pole relay to handle both top & bottom magnatrons, plus a second grounding path to ensure the magnatrons are always cold when the system is powered down. It's more complicated than simply using toggle switches, but if you really want a key switch, this is a way to do it.
