Fusing Samantha and the Controllers

[F Elliott]

Rookie coach alert!

We are using a Powerwerx RIGrunner 4005H power distribution panel on our FTC robot. I posted on FTC rules forum and it was approved. Yay.

It has one input Anderson Powerpole connection and five output connections. Each are individually fused. This is our configuration:

Input: From battery after master switch
Output 1: Motor Controller with two motors
Output 2: Motor Controller (same as above)
Output 3: Servo Controller with six HS-485HB servos
Output 4: Servo Controller with two HS-785HB servos
Output 5: Samantha Module

What size fuses do you think I should use for each connection?

THANKS!

Choose the fuse to match the wire gauge, not the expected load on the circuit. Here's a possibly useful reference: http://www.oznium.com/forum/topic15761
