Can someone tell me which items in the Seneca are AC Driven, and which items are DC Driven??
 
The Seneca II is an all-DC aircraft just like the Seminole. The alternators recharge the 12VDC battery which supplies all the juice to the busses, motors, heaters, etc.

There are no inverters, transformer-rectifiers, etc.

I have yet to run across a piston twin that has any AC systems. I guess if you are talking about a new one a few of the glass CRT's may be AC but that would be it.

Unless you have inverters installed..you gots no AC!! :)
 
Newer light piston twins don't generally have inverters. Older radial powered twins and multi engine airplanes use rotary inverters.

The Seneca is a DC airplane.
