• I need a new enable harness for my AL12-EI60 or ER14-50 Plane Power alternator. What is the part number?

  The enable harness for the AL12-EI60 and ER14-50 Plane Power alternators is part number 11-1010.

• What is the brush part number for the AL12-EI60 (99-1012), C14-50, and EX14-50?

  The brush block/regulator assembly used in the Plane Power C14-50, EX14-50 and AL12-EI60 alternator is part number 11-1043.

• What is the brush part number for the Plane Power AL12 or AL24 series alternators?

  The brush block assembly used in the Plane Power AL12 and AL24 series alternators is part number 10-1020.

• What is the brush part number use din the Plane Power ALT-FLX (17-2000 series), C14-100, or C28-150 alternator assemblies?

  The brush block assembly used in the Plane Power ALT-FLX, C14-100 or C28-150 alternators is part number 15-5005.

• What is the brush part number used in the Plane Power ER14-50 (15-1014)?

• What is the difference between R1224 and the R1224B voltage regulator?

  The R1224 and the R1224B voltage regulators are the same electrically. The only difference is the size of the base.

• What is the difference between the C28-150 and C28-150S or the C14-100 and the C14-100S?

  The “S” designation indicates a “slim” version of the alternator which basically means there is no factory installed debris shield or cooling tube.

• What is the difference between the FS1-14 and FS1-14B?

  The FS1-14 internal, non-adjustable regulator is set at 13.6+/- .2 volts. This alternator would be used as a back-up to an AL12-EI60 main alternator kit and would come online automatically if system voltage drops below 13.6 volts as in a failure of the main alternator.

   

  The FS1-14B internal, non-adjustable regulator is set at 14.2+/- .2 volts and can be used as a stand-alone alternator system for aircraft wanting the lightest weight and using minimum equipment.

   

  Because both alternators are driven from a slower accessory pad drive, these alternators will not produce output to support load until they reach approximately 2000 engine rpm. Perfect for a back-up system should the main alternator be lost in flight but limited as a stand-alone system as any installed equipment would be running off the battery during taxi and landing configurations.

• What is the harness assembly for Plane Power AL12-EI70/B alternator?

  The enable harness assembly for the Plane Power AL12-EI70/B alternator is part number 99-5097.

• What is the part number used on the gear drive alternators installed on Continental Permold engines?

  The front seal used on most of the gear drive, Permold style alternators is part number XA-1026.

• What is the Plane Power AL12-EI60 (99-1012) internal regulator voltage set at the factory?

  The Plane Power AL12-EI60 series alternator regulator is factory set to 14.2+/- .3 volts.

• What lamp or light bulb is used in the Plane Power warning light assembly?

  The Plane Power warning light is a 100 milliamp bulb. If an incorrect bulb is used, the light may not come on or it may "glow in the dark".
