Re: Could a magnetic field around CIMs cause fuses to blow?

I just checked the bot. There IS a slight short with the screws in the victors. The resistance isn't infinate, but it is in the 1000 K ohms. The multimeter didn't beep when between the terminals but did between a screw and a termainal. This will be fixed, but I don't know if that was the whole problem.

I rechecked again with someone looking and found that the screws arn't conducting to the terminals. I found that while the wires are distint and not crossed, all of the positive red wires are conducting for each other. I tested from the breaker panel to the victors and all of the red are conducting from each part on the panel on the 40A fuses. I don't know how this works. I can't find any grounds anywhere near the victors. The red wires arn't connected tot he balck wires, but all of the black wires are connected together like the red ones. We are going to re-wire it to track down the culprit. If you have had trouble like this or know what is happening, this tr4ead is still going until there is a cure. In other words, We need more help
