Re: Curious... Anyone smoked a motor with Tetrix ptc

Hello Teched3

What rating and type (slow or fast-blow) of fuse did you put in series with each motor?

I was going to put one fuse in series with each motor to protect the motors during testing. If one fuse blows, there is no expectation that our Minibot continues to operate correctly (a fuse is not a current regulation device, it is a safety device). The extra fuses would be removed before the competition.

Thanks.
