Re: Large Fan

Simply hooked it to the fuse panel with a small amperage breaker.

BTW, you won't need a large fan on a victor as long as you allow for adequate airflow into and around it.

They are better suited for blowing on motors that tend to get hot. Many of the FIRST KOP motors have internal thermal protection. A fan and/or makeshift heatsink will help remedy the situation of thermal shutdown when you least expect it..
