Re: Bench Test Victor Problem

Chris,
The Victors will self destruct if you connect the power supply to the output terminals and the motor to the input terminals. A side effect of this mode is fireworks as the power FETs blow open and short. The electrical equivalent of measure twice cut once is check your wiring twice then apply power.
