Re: Spazing Robot
I've asked around about just how important cooling is for the victors.
Every responese I've heard so far is: In 2 minutes, at the loads we opperate, no one should ever be able to smoke a healthy victor with our with out the fan running. All the same, the strong recomendation is to wire the fans to the 12v+ and negitive terminals. Make sure that the fans' red lead is on 12v+. They will either not function or not function well if hooked to reverse polarity. There is no good reason to wire the fans to a seperate circuit, and plenty of reasons not to. I suspect that in the process of rewiring the fans, you fixed the real problem. My guess would be a loose terminal screw that was causing intermentint contact and possibly overheating. -Andy A. |
