    SV-XPNDR-261 generates 60V transient on power rail, blows mosfet in RV12 power module

    On the subject of OEM wiring errors, I discovered that one pair of the fuel pump wires in my WH-00133 harness for the Vans RV12 had the positive and negative wires crossed.

    SV-XPNDR-261 generates 60V transient on power rail, blows mosfet in RV12 power module

    In my opinion, Vans should not have connected the mosfet gate directly to an external connection that they don't completely control (they control the output but not the load). But equally, the Dynon transponder should not generate a large transient; after all, it could damage other equipment on...

    SV-XPNDR-261 generates 60V transient on power rail, blows mosfet in RV12 power module

    Thanks. There isn't a tech support link on the Dynon Customer Support page, which is why I posted here. But I found an email address on their Contact page, so I have emailed them.

    SV-XPNDR-261 generates 60V transient on power rail, blows mosfet in RV12 power module

    I am building an RV12iS with Dynon avionics. While commissioning the avionics I encountered a particular problem twice, namely that when turning on the avionics power switch there is a loud "pop" and the IC07 mosfet in the RV12 power module blows. I am an electronics engineer, so after...

    Does a 2 year old SV-BAT-320 need a top-up charge?

    I recently acquired an unopened SV-BAT-320 that was purchased a little over 2 years ago. I believe it was stored in a garage for all of that time. I am aware that lithium batteries should not be allowed to discharge too far so I am wondering whether it needs a top-up charge to keep it in good...
