Electromagnetic Induction was
•Electromagnetic Induction -movement of electrons through wires (or conductors) to create electric current.
•Magnets passed across a closed-loop of wire at right-angles create an electromotive force (ELF)
ELF – VOLTS – occurrwhen electrons move in the wire
•Vice Versa: Electricity produces magnetism
What is Electricity?
Vice Versa: Electricity produces magnetism

Battery
• Provides Electrical Power when Alternator or Generator is not available
• Several types of Batteries– Most Common – Lead-Acid Battery
• Lead and Acid produce electrical charge

Electrical battery
• Small, light, not a lot of power
• Simple and effective built to last
• Recharges during flight from Alternator or Generator

A cylinder is a central working part of an engine. The space in which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are arranged side by side by the engine block. The distance the piston travels in a cylinder is called the stroke. In the cylinder is where combustion occurs.
![Page 31: Aircraft Electrical Systems - Welcome to the Instructional Web](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071523/613d06300c37c14a830d38dd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A busbar in electrical power in distributing refers to thick strips of copper and aluminum and conducts electricity within a switchboard, distributing board, or other electrical apparatus.

• A magneto operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, is self-contained and engine driven
• A magneto provides the electrical power for the ignition system to keep the engine running once the engine has been started.
• A magneto is a combination of a low voltage alternating current generator and a high voltage coil and distributor.
• The distributor in the magneto picks up the high voltage current from the coil and delivers it through the coil to the spark plugs.
The Magnetos
• Timing of magnetos is determined in the development phase. It is important to prevent pre-ignition and/or detonation.
• Small, general aviation aircraft are usually equipped with two magnetos for efficiency, smoother operation of the engine, and redundancy, to prevent the loss of the system if one magneto were to fail (L & R)
![Page 34: Aircraft Electrical Systems - Welcome to the Instructional Web](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071523/613d06300c37c14a830d38dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Most small aircraft are equipped with a 28-volt direct current (DC) electrical system, because an alternator produces more output for less weight compared to a generator and can produce a specific amount of power at a much lower rotational speed.
• An alternator drives the electrical devices and stores energy in the battery.
• The battery provides the power to crank the starter.
Alternator or Generator?

• The second electrical system connects the electrical buses and the devices to the battery through a switch, the master switch.
• The battery provides the power to crank the starter which will start the engine. Now, since the engine is running, the engine will supply power to the alternator and recharge the battery.
• The magnetos continually work to create spark, ignite fuel and crank the engine.
Electrical System,(in a nutshell)
• Inside the cockpit, you will find an ammeter
• Some instruments require electricity to function

• Read the pilot’s operating manual (POH) and aircraft flight manual (AFM) to learn how to identify and possibly handle any electrical problem in flight.
• In the event of a power failure, you should know whether or not an emergency landing is necessary.

aircraft electrical systems generate, regulate and distribute electrical power throughout the aircraft.Many aircraft flight instrument systems use electricity
•Aircraft electrical components operate on many different voltages both AC and DC•Most aircraft systems use :
•115 Volt Alternating Current (AC) @ 400 Hz•28 Volt Direct Current (DC)
Most aircraft engines provide power to generate AC generator (alternator) power.

Electrical Systems• The function of the aircraft electrical system is to
generate, regulate and distribute electrical power throughout the aircraft.
• It is essential for the flight instrument systems.
• Aircraft electrical components operate on many different voltages both AC and DC
• However, most of the systems use:– 115 VAC @ 400 Hz
– 28 VDC
• Each of the engines on an aircraft
drives an AC generator (alternator).

Electrical Power System Components
• AC Generator or Alternator
• Constant Speed Drive: in this case would be the belt driven by the engine.
• Today's modern small aircraft contain all of this inside the alternator:– Integrated Drive Generator
– Transformer Rectifier Unit
– Generator Control Unit

Basic Functions
• The basic functions of the electrical system’s components are to:
–Generate Power
– Control Electrical Power
– Protect the Electrical System
– Distribute Electrical Power
Throughout the Aircraft

Magneto

How they WoRk!• The ignition magneto combines
the functions of a dynamo, contact breaker points, "condenser", and ignition coil.
• The engine spins a magnet inside a coil, and also operates a contact breaker, interrupting the current and causing the voltage to be increased sufficiently to jump a small gap. The spark plugs are connected directly from the magneto output.

Aircraft Magneto Systems
• A magneto is a combination of low and high voltage current generator and distributor.
• The magnetos ignition coil transforms low voltage to high voltage.
• The distributor picks up the high voltage from the coils and delivers it to the spark plugs for ignition.

Aircraft Electrical Systems
• The purpose of an aircraft electrical system is to generate, regulate, and distribute electrical power through the entire aircraft.
• It consists of a battery, an alternator, and regulators for these devices.
• The alternator charges the battery just like in a car.
![Page 61: Aircraft Electrical Systems - Welcome to the Instructional Web](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071523/613d06300c37c14a830d38dd/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Electrical System Run Through
• The master switch turns on the battery.
• The battery turns on all of your aircraft lights.
• The Alternator is activated along with the radio and instrument lighting.
• The alternator continues to work and recharge the battery and thus light the aircraft.

Electrical System
• The airplanes electrical system consists of a battery and a generator or alternator with associated voltage regulators, current limiters, or other protective devices.
• The primary function of the battery is to provide power to the starter motor.
• After the engine starts, the magnetos provide ignition,
– generator or alternator takes on the tasks of powering:
• Radios
• Instruments lights
• Electrical landing gear
• Flaps
• Recharging the battery
• Individual circuits are protected by circuit breakers or fuses.

Magneto SystemMagneto-equipped aircraft engines
are typically dual-plugged, that is, each cylinder has two spark plugs, with each plug having its own separate magneto; This arrangement provides: – redundancy in the event of a
failure of one of the magnetos.
– more complete and efficient burn of the fuel mixture, and
– if placed far apart in the combustion chamber, decreases burn time, allowing higher engine speeds.
For this reason, double plugging is also used in high performance automobiles and motorcycles.
