Re: (ET) Thoughts on NiCDs and card 4



"Another thought: The control bus is fused by a 20 amp fuse. That's way
too high for some of those components, maybe we should use a 5 or 10 amp
fuse?"

You could try that. Bear in mind that all the contactor and relay coils are fed by this fuse, and the draw may add up to more than you think, especially the inrush current on the larger coils. One way to puzzle it out would be to replace the fuse with an ammeter and watch.{ And THAT would be the time that something would decide to go REALLY wrong. :( }
