Hi All,

I am installing a bus tie contactor and a battery contactor in an “enclosure” under the rear seat of a composite airplane and I am concerned about the heat produced by these two devices.

This enclosure is a “box” of sorts that is constructed with foam core composite material (good insulation properties) and the space is kinda small (about 20” X 10” X 4”) and it will not have any airflow whatsoever so I am wondering how hot these two units could get when energized in this enclosed location.

I do not intend to have the bus tie closed during flight so when airborne only the battery contactor will be energized however during ground operations I do intend on having both the bus tie and the battery tie closed for maintenance purposes. I have already had them both humming however I have not yet closed the lid to this box. If need be I could construct some kind of cooling air scoop however I would prefer to keep the box fully enclosed…IF…there would not be a fire hazard.

THANKS for your feedback and advice.
..

Cheers!!!

Bill Hunter
