Basic aircraft turbine standby alternator broke. Had my primary alternator fail and I tried to use the standby alternator.

It did not work.

Sent back to company. They had it awhile, however they can’t get parts at this time.

I have done a little trouble shooting. There is voltage coming directly out of alternator. Difficult to test after that due to
Protective coating over leads. No output in final set of wired going to plane. Tested with leaf blower.

Any ideas?

I have tested it many times and it has worked flawlessly before. Really like the product.

Does anyone have experience with these or know someone who does?

They didn't tell you what's wrong and what parts they need?

So, it is an electrical problem with the external rectifier? Seems like you could reverse engineer that…

Some more info.


The company who makes these said it fails under load. Would this be consistent with it failing under load? The owner of the company is a gentleman, but just can’t get parts. He believes it is the circuit board.
