Hi Matt. That engine design is very hard on alternators. The alternator resides in the “7th cylinder” location and thus is subjected to massive vibration with no belt dampening to ease its pain. My Velocity, N36LV, had a 370HP IO-550 with a very light MT 3-blade prop, which did nothing to dampen the torsional vibrations of the engine. I went through 2 alternators before Bill at B&C Electronics told me what was going wrong. Turns out the vibration was “work hardening” the alternator brush pigtails, causing them to fray and eventually short to the alternator case. They are very fine braids and it only takes one tiny wire to keep dropping the alternator off-line. I worked around the problem by changing out the brushes every 40 hrs. $15 and ten minutes got the job done. Be VERY cautious about trying to reset the breaker under full electrical load: going from no load to full load is very hard on the connecting gear to your flywheel. It has a rubber shear ring designed to fail first. It is quite expensive if it works as designed and catastrophic to your engine if it doesn’t. Shed everything you safely can first, then reset the breaker one time only. If it fails again, do not attempt a second reset without addressing the problem. Also, if you’ve never had your prop dynamically balanced, it may help a great deal to do so.

A few of the other commenters recommended checking the ground screw - Great suggestion. I also had an alternator issue very similar to yours and included it on one of our own videos. In addition to checking the ground screw, I would suggest looking at and replacing any inline fuses. My alternator issues were ultimately due to a poor contact on an inline fuse that looked fine on the surface. No issues since it was exchanged. Best of luck. I would hate to see 7HP go.

@jerrystephens9143 3 года назад

Great suggestions they were my first thoughts too. Im a retired engineer electro mechanical. Another thing to check is resistance in all switches over time it builds. Also all wire can break inside insulation and give intermittent issues. Make sure all wire is aircraft grade.

Ground screws and corrosion, near the regulator, and batteries. Clean them all up, also clean up every single B+ connection and both AC connections on the Voltage Regulators, as well as the sensor connector to your main and panels.

@purplepenguin43 3 года назад

Yup check grounds and vibration points, belts and pulleys, if its not that or component failure, it’s probably ac getting into the dc system, either from component failure or ac wires inducting into dc wires or spark emissions or the voltage regulators/transformers in acc’s leaking ac. also never hurts to add a big ol capacitor to help keep the dc side clean.

@jfv65 3 года назад

An alternator needs a working 'exciter' circuit. If there's something wrong with that circuit the alternator can be perfectly OK but it will not start charging. You should have the entire charging system checked, the alternator + drive, exciter circuit, voltage or amp meter, all associated wire connections.

Hello, I was an engine technician for a long time and then taught technicians to work on engines and electronic control systems for 15 years or so. Then I worked for a Marine Engine Manufacturer and developed diagnostic tools for Computer Controlled systems on engines and boats. You nailed it when you said "GROUND". Whenever something electrical is acting weird, it is almost invariable a bad (or intermittent) ground somewhere. They literally need to disconnect every ground connection on the entire alternator/charging system and visually inspect each of them. I am pretty confident they will find it. Just because a connection is tight and looks good on the outside, does not mean that it is good on the inside of the connection where you cannot see it. It is almost always a ground for something that acts weird. Have a great one.

@jfv65 3 года назад

@Juapo 3 года назад

I had the exact same issue with my Alternator in my A36. Tried everything and spoke to many people far wiser then me. The issue was fixed immediately when we installed a small capacitor between the leads on my alternator. Try it. If I am wrong and it does not fix the problem, you are out maybe a dollar. I can send you a picture if that helps. Super simple fix that was done without even opening the cowling.

@minnesnowtan9970 3 года назад

There should be 2 or 4 diodes (half bridge or full bridge) that turn the AC into pulsating DC. A capacitor should smooth out the DC. I have repaired a Viewsonic monitor by replacing the capacitor, $5.00, lasted about two years longer.

Hello Juapo! Would you send me your description and pictures, too?

@raymondlandes 3 года назад

Don’t know your exact set up but my T210 originally has a TSIO-520 with a belt driven 100 amp alternator. It ate alternators like potato chips. The problem was solved by installing National Airparts Alternator. No further problems. The unit is sitting in a box in my hangar after I replaced that engine with an TN550 and a geared alternator. If this is applicable let me know. I’d be happy to provide my old alternator to you for free less shipping charges.

@SeanHollingsworth 3 года назад

I remember your earlier videos. I was thinking that your glass cockpit electrical gremlin was because of your DC to DC voltage converter. These can be the culprit that can kick off everything. It is exceedingly odd that even a new alternator + voltage regulator would ever have an intermittent problem. Difficult to diagnose without diagnostic gear connected at the time of failure(s.) These are fun to diagnose though, once discovered. Reminds me of a story about an English Electric Lightening that had a long-term intermittent electrical problem that nobody could seem to fix. It led to one of the guys running the test becoming an accidental Lightening pilot when they were doing high-speed runway tests while trying to replicate the problem. He did end up landing the aircraft safely. Long story short, the gremlin was traced back to an electrical wire that was originally in place to supply power to a piece of equipment that had since been removed from the aircraft entirely. The wire hadn't been removed by ground crews years before. Such fun. I hope you can find your gremlin.

@neilbarnett3046 3 года назад

I wonder about your wiring looms. I once had a fault on a minicomputer where the wires had been inserted into the plug, but then crimped onto the insulation, which caused the strands to splay out, so they touched the inside of the connector and made a connection...that then cut out as soon as the computer got hot. And my wife had a similar problem on a Skoda, needed half the engine loom replacing. Ok, it's not an aeroplane, but...!

@robertgentry9436 3 года назад

Had similar problems on a Bonanza years ago and after much frustration in the many attempts to find and fix it, an old timer suggested thoroughly cleaning and reattaching the ground strap connections from engine to airframe and adding an an extra strap on the opposite side of engine. . Completely cured the problems and also eliminated some weird radio static and hums. Wishing you great results. I’d hate to see you sell your old friend. I really enjoy your videos of your adventures. Keep up the good work!

@baomao7243 3 года назад

I recall a friend who worked on Avionics systems at Collins. As they would spool up the engines near 100% on the C-130s they would get sudden current spikes out of the electrical systems, which, of course, was a ghost in the machine. Tried extensively to troubleshoot it but no joy. Then a while later ATC reported to them that every time they’d do a run up at the field the tower comms would get blocked. Turned out that a voltage connection would actually arc, but only at “high enough” RPMs. The arc location was hidden way back in the tail of the plane near a transmitter. Very difficult because it wasn’t easy to repeat. In your situation, it may be time to dust off the oscilloscope and probe a few lines to look for clues. I say that MIT alum to MIT alum. Sometimes you just need to solve it yourself - guarantees it is fixed but is also satisfying, once you find it. (MIT Course 6 alumni rejoice ! )

A couple mechanics thought they should hook up another voltmeter to see if the voltage was spiking before it tripped... I tried a couple times to explain why that wouldn’t work.

You don't need a new airplane, although I'll definitely take the TBM. Had a very similar problem with my Arrow. Alt would quit typically about 45 mins in. Tie a wire to each "interesting" point on the system; main bus, between OV relay and regulator, field at regulator, field at alternator, alt output. Attach to a board in the cockpit. Next, get a safety pilot and go fly it and look at the waveform at each point, especially when it quits. In my case it was a bad connection causing the regulator to go over voltage at which point the OV relay was cutting it out.

Air Force Museum is a MUST. You need at least 2 days. The B-24 Strawberry Bitch flew over 56 combat missions during WWII, including the Ploesti oil refinery low level bombing mission. Ran into a note from a crew chief that the airplane had been badly shot up on a raid over Greece in Oct. 1943 where the right elevator had 90 holes patched. Memphis Belle flew 26 missions that I could find. Kinda figured there would be more in depth about the electrical problems. As an aircraft mechanic you want to always remember "Don't overthink the problem" , it could be something very simple, not always, but more often than not.

What is the state of your battery & have you observed the alternator circuit breaker & amperage during engine start? My DA40 had a design flaw where during low voltage battery state during a start, the battery would draw too many amps and then trip the alternator CB. When not noticed the battery would drain during the flight until it died and the rest is history. I’m not familiar with the Bonanza but it’s possible there is commonality.

That's a nicely equipped A36. I am a mechanic and have run into that problem on older Beechcraft myself. I like to go through the entire wire harness firewall forward during engine installs but even having done that have found bad circuit breakers, switches, and even a few (3 in a row!) just bad alternators that bench test good. After many conversations with knowledgeable people, they termed the problem a "flying short" in the windings which only occurs during flight conditions. I wish I had an easy fix but that problem can be a real headache for all involved. It IS solvable given enough time and money, and it appears that this aircraft has had no lack of either to get it in the shape it is currently in. Good luck,I hope it's something small and cheap!

@paultheman4133 3 года назад

Have you replaced the AMP Meter? I'm guessing it is between the battery and all the electronics of the plane - if it is going bad it would put all electronics running off the alternator which would not be good for any electronics esp the regulator (on the alternator). Just like it isn't good to pull the positive terminal of a car battery while it is running damaging the alternator in the car. This would explain why you've had to replace the alternator (more than once?).

I agree with several others on posts pointing at the switches controlling the alternator; i would replace just because it is simple and easy and failure prone.

@TheDesperado46 3 года назад

Matt, when they did your avionics, check that the electrical load analysis has taken into account the worst case load draw on each device. Also have someone check that they have chosen the correct AWG (size) wire for the current draw AND length. Some may say generically that 18AWG is good for say 3 amps but if you run it over too long a length it will pop the mcb or just kill the other avionics momentarily. Also a lot of voltage converters between 14-28 or visa versa can step up the current draw proportionally so if your pulling x amps on the output you may be pulling 2x on the input thereby overloading your aircraft powersupply.

@Avi8tor857 3 года назад

You may have hit on the issue you said it charged at 2500 but not 2700 and not below 900. Most bench tests would be in the range of it working. Basically you are floating the bushings in the alternator at certain RPMs. Also some of the alternator brackets for bonanza's have cracking issues it could be that its flexing in and the belt is slipping at high RPM.

@scottmonroe6522 3 года назад

@martinrenschler4046 3 года назад

Just a hint for others having alternator failures in-flight: If you have a faulty, overzealous over-voltage protection circuit, it will shut the alternator down but cycling the alternator switch (which switches the field) will not bring it back to life. Once the circuit has triggered, it is only reset by turning the master switch off (planes with electronic ignition don't like that though). I did not see that attempt in the video. If you have that situation, it actually helps to lower the rpm and turn on everything you have on board to lower the voltage.

@WarrenatCLS 3 года назад

Geared alternators on the barons and bonanzas are the Achilles heels of the airplane. I have had multiple single and dual alternate failures on my bearing. Assuming that the alternator is not bad, the main issue is incorrect wiring on the alternator leads. If you haven’t already gone through this, you may want to have someone verify that the leads are correct. In my case, ground was connected to power, and when the second alternator was replaced, the team get the same thing. When the alternators fight for control, they will blow out a fuse. It’s also double check to make sure all of your fuses are fine. The alternator is in regulators constantly will cause intermittent electrical problems, until you get the wiring sort of correctly.

It's often just sheer chance, combined with a systematic cycling of every single connection, wiggling every connector and connection point, and even banging on parts to see if you can create the fault. In the end, we always find the fault, but if you had to pay a mechanic to spend the same amount of time I've spend tracking down intermittent faults, you would go broke! Good luck with it, and I do hope you find the nasty gremlin. Gremlins that come from corrosion, loose connections and shorts from worn insulation love to stay hidden. Cheers from Winnipeg.

How long ago did you go to the AF museum? All the airplane interiors are closed off from the pandemic. Great video as always!

Aircraft charging issues are a PITA. For something so simple, you would think the troubleshooting is straightforward. I had an alternator failure on a flight. My destination airport had a maintenance shop on the field and they recommended replacing the alternator. On the ramp, the charge looked great, only for it to drop down below 13 volts on the return flight home. Issue turned out to be a bad regulator. Good luck on the witch hunt.

Matt, have tried the great restaurants at Camarillo Airport and all the aviation buffs at Santa Paula Airport ? Worth the trip. Also great weather now.

I guess you have gone back to Beechcraft. As this aircraft is still in production today. They surely can diagnose this. The fact you have to go see a guru in CA is intetesting. I'm sure you will find it. Damn that TBM looks wicked. Watching Steveo fly a new 940 it's mean as. Good luck Matt.

What was the solution to your alternator failing? Since I overhauled my alternator, mine has been failing and have to reset. I have replaced and adjusted voltage regulator. Nothing seems to help. Must be the alternator???

@mattguthmiller 3 года назад

Yep. Hartzell/planepower? Try the planepower regulator.

@@mattguthmiller My VR is Lamar and I replaced already with new Lamar. Is it possible the new one is bad as well.

@mattguthmiller 3 года назад

@@andyfehr3462 no, but if it’s a hartzell or plane power alternator, it’ll only work reliably with the planepower regulator

I love that museum. Free admission, free parking. What's not to like? I think my favorite plane there is the YF-23 Black Widow II, the "loser" in the competition that gave the F-22 Raptor the win for our next air superiority fighter. In my opinion, they made the wrong choice. So Matt, what was your favorite there?
