Is the reason you switch the RH Gen off because you dont want the initial start draw for the LH Engine to come off the RH Gen and blow a current limiter? Correct or incorrect?
Yes this is true. I've been told that current draw can exceed 900 amps for the first few seconds of starter operation then begins to drop rapidly once things start spinning up.
I ask because in my official Raytheon/Beech manual, for a normal Batt start, in the normal procedures, they DONT have you turn off the RH Gen, but just leave it on during the start of the LH Engine....?
The RH generator will go offline automatically when you engage the LH engine's starter.
Very nice machine the B200.
