Re: Fire at Michigan State Champs
Thinking about this now, I realize that something like this could have happened to us. We had a almost unmeasurable frame short (later discovered to probably caused by a limit switch wire connected to a Talon SRX), which passed inspection because the resistance was higher than the required limit.
Last night and this morning we fried two Talon SRXes, and after a ton of troubleshooting we discovered that our LED ring power cable was being pinched and sometimes connecting positive to the frame. If the resistance was a little lower, I think the same thing could have happened to us. This appeared to be what destroyed the Talons.
