EA81 Alternator ( plane )


Recommended Posts

Hello there,

I need a bit of help about waring diagram of an alternator on a EA81.

 

This alternator goes in a plane. My friend told my that is a Subaru Motor. He give me all the service manual of the plane and It confirm that is a Subaru motor. What I need is I'm not sure the Alternator is dead. When I uplug the big cable ( batt ) the one going to the battery there is 11.5 volts when motor is iddle and 11.45v when is at 3200rpm.

 

Seem to work but not a lot of power to charge the battery. There is 2 other cable going on the alternator. 2 white wire. the 2 wire goes in the dash for a lamp to tell that the Alternator work well.. and one of the cable is loop back to the ( batt ) plug on the alternator

 

Any schematic diagram or drawing ?

thanks have a great day

Early EA81's were externally regulated, but the later ones were internal. The 2 alternators in question are interchangeable. 11.45 @ 3200 indicates a problem. SInce this is an aircraft application, I'll bet that it it internally regulated. That means there's a dead alternator. Time for a new alt. Maybe time for an upgrade, too.

The early internally regulated alternator has a heavy wire with a ring terminal going back to the positive battery terminal and a plastic "T" shaped receptacle which takes a two wire terminal plug. Almost all of these are interchangeable; the earlier versions are 55A and the later ones are 60A. I have a few of these if you need one; I'd send you a known working one off my Brat to be sure you get a working one.
