Overview
|
Here’s a game-changer – the new high-performance spline-driven alternator from the company that pioneered the spline-driven alternator over 20 years ago!
The BC462-H continues our tradition of innovation, offering robust performance and superb efficiency. Rated at a nominal 35 to 60 amps @ cruise RPM, it mounts on a standard AND20000-spec accessory pad, and is built to the same quality standards you’ve come to expect from B&C. Every BC462-H features a CNC machined billet aluminum mounting flange for superior durability. Inside you’ll find heavy-duty sealed ball bearings, two internal cooling fans, a precision dynamically-balance rotor (a B&C quality essential), and a special “shear section” drive coupling. Suitable for 14 volt or 28 volt applications, the BC462-H is designed for aircraft-style external control, and may be used as either a Primary or a Standby Alternator, depending on your electrical system configuration. It should be appropriately matched with our LR3D, LS1B, or SB1B Controllers. Measuring 4.92″ wide and 6.05″ deep, and weighing only 6.75 lbs., the BC462-H will clear the tachometer cable and oil screen on stock Lycoming engines with dual-magneto accessory case. Includes mounting gasket and pre-wired field connector assembly. NOTE: The BC462-H may interfere with the Lycoming horizontal oil filter adapter used on some Lycoming engines (however, it will fit up nicely next to the BC700 spin-on oil filter adapter). If you are using the BC700 Oil Filter Adapter with a 1.4″ or longer spacer, you will need to purchase the BC462-3H which is configured to fit that configuration. Please call for additional fit information. For Experimental Aircraft ONLY NOTE: L-40, BC460-H, BC410-H, and BC462-H alternators require external regulators - use: P/N 07-06742 (LR3C) for 14V Primary, P/N 07-06786 (LS-1A) for 28V Primary, P/N 07-03461 (SB1B-14) for 14V Standby, and P/N 07-03462 (SB1B-28) for 28V Standby. |

Please note, Aircraft Spruce ®'s personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce ® assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base.

No, this unit is for use in homebuilt / experimental aircraft only.
Per Manufacturer: There is a single wire which comes from the regulator to the alternator. At the field plug we add a pigtail so that the field wire uses two points of connection instead of just one. So both wire have the same function, to power the alternator field.
