I would appretiate comments on what I understand to be a new idea for our team in regards to wiring of the cooling fans on the Victor's.

The above post is suggesting that the wire leads from the fan atop the SC be wired directly to the power terminals of that same Victor? If this is the case, have teams using this wiring scheme every had issues with inspection?

I really like the idea as it cleans up the nest of wires around the controllers. We have always ganged two or more cooling fan sets of leads to single female spade connectors and taken then to a circuit breaker panel and run them off of a single 20 amp breaker.


Thanks for your input in advance and the excellent idea if it jives with FIRST rules.
