Maxi 40 Amp Fuse Panel
Our team did not receive the Maxi 40 Amp Fuse panel in our KOP -- we mistakenly got 2 of the low amp fuse panels. We contacted FIRST, but haven't yet received a response, and, as it is somewhat important to move forward, have purchased one elsewhere. (It is brass and very heavy :(.) Anyway, each fuse accept a different input power source, and we have to, therefore, split the power coming from the 6 AWG wire from the fuse breaker into 4 to power it. I just wanted to make sure all this is legal, i.e., using a different fuse panel than that provided in the kit (granted that none was provided in ours;)). I didn't see anything immediately applicable from a glance at the electronics/wiring section. Thank you.

Re: Maxi 40 Amp Fuse Panel
If you really want to get the fuse holders you can buy them. They are not cheap, but they are not outrageous either($10 each).
SoundDomain.com sells them. Below is a link to the page to buy them. http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/STISFB1MAX Hope this helps. Joe J. |
Re: Maxi 40 Amp Fuse Panel
You need to check the power distribution diagram again. The wiring to the 40 Amp breaker panel is #10. The #6 wire from the main disconnect branches down to #10 at the power distribution block.

Re: Maxi 40 Amp Fuse Panel
I believe that you were supposed to get two Buss ATC fuse panels in your kit.
Are you absolutely sure that you didn't get one, because I was thinking that it's kind of in a wierd place, like with stuff that you wouldn't expect, and it looks kinda funny too... |

As to legality of using them, I suppose that techically they should be the EXACT same models, but since FIRST seems to have allowed a TOTALLY different fuse holder from Terminal Supply in a recent update, I can't seem to get my undies all in a bunch about the plating on the terminals of the fuse holder. I say use them. Joe J. |
Re: Maxi 40 Amp Fuse Panel
First has posted the part number and functional equivalents. Yes they are solid brass and yes they are VERY HEAVY. As pointed out above, the #6 to #10 transition block needs to be wired between the main circuit breaker and the Maxi fuse block. Refer to the elctrical blueprint. Be sure to get the #10 wires connected to this block, in a good electrical contact. High resistance here means heat and a loss of power delivered to the motors.

The KOP list does give you 2 of the low amp panels. |
