AN THE LIGHTING an servos circut is again a seperate circut with their own 5 amp fuse x 4 in the PDB board pic below Si so this is how i wired up all my ships but i must admit that ive never used the PDB board so thats a new thing in the circut but thats what it ment to do distribe the power evenly through out the circuts of the ship
HI John yes this is a frustrating problem as ive never had this prob before on all my ships so must be something like the PDB board that ive fitted or that voltage reducer as its getting hot when things are running but got to be sorted i just fitted the mini 6v fans just in case i may need them as no good building the S/S an then realising i need them cooling fans fitted do it would be a lot of reworking to do but all i will do is just dissconect the fans wires in the hull an tag them fans so if i do want to use them again all ive got to do is reconnect them so no probs thanks John for stoppin ATB
HI again Pete this is my multi meter i presume what you mean
AN Pete that how ive designed the power system around two batts as ive done this on all my ships so one batt to power all asserorys an one batt to power the motors so its a two circut system an ive never had this problem before as my nimtz an my now norfolk are both desinded like this an they ran lovely
HI Paul yes hanger bay does look good an even better when i fit in x 2 1/72 seakings bein serviced by the ground crew
HI John well i dont know about devotion and or madness but i :thinking: think madness maybe closer:rolling::smiling::smiling::smiling:an yes we are well thanks an hope you an mangement are well
YES Si an many thanks for the idea but i think i'll fit a new voltage reducer first an see how that goes as this is just goin to be a proccess of elemination is 'nt itMight be the voltage reducer, though the byproduct of dropping voltage is heat - simple way of dropping the voltage is by fitting a 6v light bulb in series (the wire comes from the positive side of the battery, and then carries on, but not to the negative terminal) also acts as a fuse
BASICALLY like me Si im the same i can wire up a fused circut easy with a switch in it goin to some gadget an neg back to batt but when goin through multi wires then the problems seem to arise
HI Jim yes it does seem unfair after all the bloomin effort that gone into this ship model an money an then get a problem like this but i'll just have be patience an hope i can solve this prob as at the moment its the blind leading the blind
HI Pete do you mean take the fuse out in the PDB BOARD ? as its a very exspensive bit of kit so i dont want to mess about any where near it but thank you for your info but i think i'll cocentrate first on that ole power reducucer bein replaced with a new one an see what happens as if it still get hot then i'll know that its not that as these are very good units as ived used several of these on my other ships an they all ok
Chris, you can take out any of the plug-in fuses and put them back in later, just as you'd need to if one of them blew.
