Re: Possibly Ruined All Four Jaguars

The black leads are connected to power supply common. There is a layer (maybe two layers) of copper foil that tie all black WAGOs and the negative lead of the battery together. The black leads do not need to come from the same pair but it makes your life and mine a lot easier.

AMEN!!! We didn't blow up any Jaguars last year, but our lifting mechanism kept on tripping the INTERNAL breaker on the Jag... the Snap-action wasn't tripping, just the Jag... So we changed it to a Victor, and didn't have a single problem the rest of the year... We even demoed our bot at the MO State Fair running about 40 matches in 8 hours... victors worked fine... Blew a Jag though!!!

Re: Possibly Ruined All Four Jaguars

Matt,
There is no internal breaker on the Jag. There is an over current sense that puts the jag into fault and disables the output for about 3.5 seconds.
