DC POWER DISTRIBUTION (FIGURE FO-1, SHEETS 2 AND 3)
The DC battery system (Figure 8) provides 24 Vdc for engine starting and TQG control circuits. The two sets of
12 Vdc batteries are charged by the engine alternator. The DC AMMETER on the EMCP indicates alternator
charging rate. Charge rate is shown from -25 to +50 A. Normal operating indication depends on the state of
charge in the batteries. A low charge, such as exists immediately after engine starting, will cause a high reading.
The battery system includes a manually operated Battery Disconnect Switch to isolate the batteries from the
engine. The Battery Disconnect Switch can be used to remove the DC power from the TQG. The batteries
connect directly to the 24 Vdc NATO slave receptacle.
