What voltage does the generator supply to the generator and battery buses?

The generator in the T-6 aircraft supplies 28 VDC (volts direct current) to both the generator and battery buses. This voltage level is standardized for many aircraft systems and is essential for ensuring compatibility with various electrical components and systems on board. The 28 VDC output supports the operation of avionics, lighting, and other electrical systems, providing the necessary power for safe and effective aircraft operation.

Operating at 28 VDC also allows for a more efficient power transfer compared to lower voltages, minimizing losses and enhancing performance. The choice of this voltage level is significant in maintaining consistent system functionality and reliability throughout different electrical loads that the aircraft may encounter during operation.
