Inverter wiring diagram

115 VAC Inverter

The 1200 amp inverter converts 28 VDC to 115, or 230 VAC for use in the cabin.
• Either 115 or 230 VAC inverter is mounted behind the main aircraft batteries.
• The Right Hand PDP T4, from the main bus contactor is usually the power feed through the remote controled
circuit breaker to the inverter.
Options Control Relay K5038

The options control relay provides a ground path to control the

Remote Control Circuit Breaker.
• When power is applied by the copilot circuit breaker panel,
the relay K5038 closes, when the aneroid is below 9500 feet, a
ground is applied to the Remote Control Circuit Breaker
closing it.
•

Aneroid

The cabin inverter aneroid is mounted on the aft

pressure bulkhead on the upper left side of the
aircraft.
• The aneroid will open the ground path for the
remote controled circuit breaker opening the
main power to the inverter shutting off the power
to the cabin outlets.
• The inverter is designed to open up at 9,500 ft
+/-250 ft, and close at 8,300 ft.
Remote Controled Circuit Breaker

The remote controlled circuit breaker is

mounted on the aft tailcone bulkhead
• The remote controlled circuit breaker
controls power to the inverter. 28 VDC power
is applied to the A1 contact from the right hand
Power distribution panel T4 Main Bus
terminal. With power applied to A1, a ground
at terminal 3 will close the contactor and
provide 28 VDC to terminal A2, connected to
the inverter input.

Fuse Block Limiter

The fuse block limiter protects the RH aft

distribution panel by providing circuit
protection to the system wiring.
• The fuse block limiter is located in the
aft tailcone section on the aft bulkhead
station 630 WL 43 BL 0.0.
Ground Fault Interrupt Outlet

The ground fault interrupt outlet is located in the lavatory on the step
to the baggage compartment on most aircraft.
• Ground fault interrupters are designed to protect from electrical
shock by interrupting a circuit when there is a difference in the
currents in the "hot" and neutral wires. Such a difference indicates
that an abnormal diversion of current from the "hot" wire is occuring.
Such a current might be flowing in the ground wire, such as a leakage
current from a motor or from capacitors. More importantly, that
current diversion may be occuring because a person has come into
contact with the "hot" wire and is being shocked. When a circuit is
functioning normally, all the return current from an appliance flows
through the neutral wire, so the presence of a difference between
"hot" and neutral currents represents a malfunction which in some
circumstances could produce a dangerous or even lethal shock
hazard.
• The GFI has a "Test" button which causes a small difference
between "hot" and neutral currents to test the device. In an example
the test button put the 120 volt supply across a 14.75 K resistor,
producing a current of 8.2 mA. The UL requirement for a GFI is that
it trip when there is 5 mA of leakage current. There is also a reset
button to use after it has been tripped.

Cabin Outlets

Cabin outlets are distributed through the aircraft as agreed

to during the aircraft delivery.
• Typically the outlets are located on both sides of the
cabin, one in the galley, and optional outlet in the back of
the pedestal.
• All of the wiring is shielded to prevent interference with
other avionics systems.
• The lids are easily broken and quite expensive to
replace. The outlet P/N 106011-5 has a repair kit available
P/N 506001-1 from the manufacture, Mid Continent (316)
789-0088.
