Re: [FTC]: Max amps for DC motor fuse
Thanks everyone. Yes, we have the RigRunner supporting the controllers not between the controller and the motor. Sorry for the confusion. We have been doing some stall testing and still have not come up with a good answer on the fuse size. A 5 amp fuse protects the motor by killing the current immediately in a stall. I grabbed some 10s today and we will test it tonight but I am not sure that I don't need to be somewhere in the middle.
