Re: 10 gauge wire getting way hot
I agree with Al. the fact that the problem was were the #12 left the block leads me to believe there is a bad connection at the #12 wire connection. Remember never use wire smaller than recommended. know that weigth is a factor but safety and performance is more important.You get better current flow and efficiency from larger guage wire. Our team uses 6 motor drive and we have yet to overheat any wires. Believe me when I say that we draw a lot of power. We can drain a battery in 2min 20 seconds just running our motors hard.
Listen to Al, rewire and retest. |
