Electri-X™
Electri-X™ offers a level of electrical power delivery redundancy usually only found on twin-engine or very high-end piston singles. Dual 60 amp alternators, dual 15 amp hour batteries, dual busses and dual wiring harnesses ensure that an electrical emergency will not force you to shed power, pull breakers, turn off critical standard systems or fly a partial panel in the event of an electrical emergency.
RDD also offers an optional alternator switching control - R00300 - that can turn your deice alternator into an additional electrical generation source. Why carry around extra alternators with their associated wiring, regulators, and weight? Call 541.504.0305 for more details.
Vacuum pumps are the way to go if you’re building a Kirby or Hoover. However, if you’re embarking on the construction of one of our generation’s premier experimental aircraft, there is no place for ancient technology under the cowling. Modern aircraft with state-of-the-art cockpits have power demands that can best be met by reliable, efficient and safe redundant electrical systems. No one knows this better than RDD which is why we developed Electri-X™.
Electri-X™ is an advanced electrical system specifically developed for the unique demands of the experimental aircraft builder. Electri-X™ consists of two independent systems that are redundant in every aspect. The critical difference between dual and redundant is that many aircraft with dual electrical systems generally have a lesser back-up electric system that cannot operate all standard systems. Electri-X™ redundancy means that both electrical systems are equal in form and function— meaning that either system is fully capable of powering all standard equipment independently.
RDD currently offers Electri-X™ 14 volt and 28 volt packages for both Lycoming and Teledyne Continental Motors. In addtion to that RDD does have a new Alternator Control Unit (ACU) that will control our de-ice alternator (120Amp, 70Volt) to perform air conditioning and de-ice functions and act as a back up power source for normal bus power - either 14 or 28 volt.
