Zero output indicated on
Open field circuit.
With master switch turned
ammeter regardless of RPM
on, check for battery voltage
(refer to alternator system
from airplane’s main bus
test procedure).
through entire field circuit
to alternator field terminal.
Measure voltage from
ground (-) to the following
points (+) in sequence; bus
bar, output circuit breaker (5A),
field terminals of master
switch, voltage regulator
and alternator field terminal.
Interruption of voltage
through any of these points
isolates the faulty components
or wire which must be placed.
(See wiring schematic.)
