Ammetter

Question 1

What is the Ammetter purpose?

Answer 1

It indicates the flow of current from the alternator to the battery or from the battery to the electric system.

Question 2

What does a right deflection on Ammeter mean after starting engine? And how to solve problem?

Answer 2

Power from the battery used for starting the engine is being replenished by the alternator.

Solution - if it stays charging then reset system or terminate flight.

Question 3

What does right deflection on Ammetter mean during flight? and how to solve problem?

Answer 3

Faulty voltage is causing the alternator to overcharge the battery.

Solution - Turn off alternator, pull circuit breaker and turn off electrical equipment not essential to conserve power.

Question 4

What does left deflection (negative) mean on Ammetter after starting engin? and how to solve problem?

Answer 4

Normal during start or battery is not receiving a charge.

Solution - check altrnator circuit breaker and reset. If no change then, turn off alternator, pull circuit breaker and turn off electical equipment not essential to conserve power.

Question 5

What does left deflection (negative) mean on Ammetter during flight? and why this may cause?

Answer 5

Battery is not receiving a charge. Alternator is not functioning or over there is a system overload.

Cause - master switch is off or alternator circuit breaker tripped.
