Re: Power Distribution rules - Victors etc?

Compressor needs to be run from a 20 amp breaker only. You may run any motor from a 20 amp breaker but why would you if you need the max current for your drive. If you are running out of PD, you are likely draining your battery and will brownout critical power supplies like the cRio, Radio and DSC. Remember that the DSC stops making PWM and other digital interface signals below 5.5 volts in and the PD supplies for cRio, camera and radio stop at 4.5 volts input.
