Re: Help Calculating time to recharge air tanks

How was the test system controlled? I'm curious what difference (if any) we would see controlling the compressor via a spike versus the new PCM. I'm particularly interested in the surge current for the PCM... Can we measure it both between the PCM and the compressor, and between the PCM and the PDP? The results of such a test may impact whether teams hook their PCM up through the dedicated port with a fuse, or go through a WAGO and a circuit breaker.
