Re: Trouble woth the jaguars

The Jaguars have integrated fans, so no extra cooling should be necessary. Check to see if that fan is running.

How much runtime does it take for them to heat up? What kind of loading are they under? They should heat up a bit because of the way they operate. They switch FET's at 15khz, under 40+ amps of spiike load, so they should generate some heat.

Did they release smoke? If so they are dead.
