Minimum Voltage / New Electrical System

Dear Asobo,

In the old electrical system, we could define what was the minimal voltage required for a component to operated, for example, we could say, an specific avionic could go off below 12V.

With the new electrical system, how we achieve this? I am experiencing a difficulty where my avionics are going black below a certain level during simulated emergencies, when in reality it they should remain active.

This is an example of how one of the circuits in question is being declared inside system.cfg:

circuit.36 = Type:CIRCUIT_PFD #Voltage:28 #Amperage:1.93 #Name:PFD_PILOT

line.66 = Name:PFD_PILOT_CB #Connection:UseBreaker_5Amp(PFD_PILOT,Emer_BUS)

The amp and voltage are the correct figures as per POH and real world data, so the question is, how I instruct the circuit to remain powered until for example 12V?

Hope this makes sense hehe.

Best,
Raul

@Boris @FlyingRaccoon any information you guys have on this?

Thanks in advance,

Bump.. any way to implement this? hehe

Hello @SimbolFSReborn

For now, circuits will stop working when they get less than 50% of their nominal voltage.
So the only way to have your circuit powered until 12V is to set its nominal voltage to 24V at the moment.

I’ll have this reviewed so we can at least expose something in the configuration.

Regards,
Sylvain

Copy, so in the new electrical system where you set voltage and amperage, what you do? voltatge 12v x amperage? not clear what I need to set. haha

from my understanding the electrical circuits are resistive loads with power draw dependent on supplied voltage, for example if you need a circuit drawing 30w at 12v(2.5A), you’ll need to define 5A at 24V (120W nominal power draw)
