Fuse Help
Our fuse keeps popping and blows. How do we fix this?

Re: Fuse Help
If it's for the compressor, replace it with a 20A Circuit breaker.
If it's not for the compressor, find the short! Trace your wiring on the output of the Spike and make sure they never touch anywhere down the line. |
Re: Fuse Help
Where would you find a 20A breaker?
|
Re: Fuse Help
From the 20A Circuit Breaker store of course! Or if you don't have one, you could check in your Kit Of Parts.

Re: Fuse Help
what is the rule number
|
Re: Fuse Help
<R60-F>
|
Re: Fuse Help
btw, this year R60F allows replacement of the fuse in the Spike relay with a 20 amp Snap-Action circuit breaker for any application, not just the compressor as in previous years.
Which begs the question, is there any reason you wouldn't want to replace the Spike fuse with a breaker? |
Re: Fuse Help
We are using a 40amp for the compressor spike it pops any other ones

If it is a 40A fuse (red automotive) replace it with a 20A circuit breaker If it if a 40 A circuit breaker, first of all how did you fit it into the Spike? Replace it with a 20A breaker. The compressor will work with a 20A circuit breaker. Even if it does trip momentarily the breaker will reset and it will work. If it doesnt work then your compressor may be bad or it is mounted somewhere with insufficient shock absorbing. I suspect you are using a 40A fuse and replacing it with a breaker is better anyway. Hopefully you can get it fixed tonight before you need to go through inspection. |
Re: Fuse Help
Try using a different 20 Amp breaker; they are kinda funny the way that they handle peak loads and maybe it just wasn't sitting right. The compressor draws high power at start up but shouldn't be drawing high power continuously - remember there is also a 20 amp breaker on the PD Board to the Spike. Check your complete wiring circuit - fix the problem, not the symptom (which is the breaker popping).
I just saw your post Brian - it didn't occur to me that the 40 amp breaker wouldn't fit (duh). It must be a 40 amp fuse. |
