Re: [DMCForum] Re: cooling fan follow-up

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't be bothered with the explanation but all the crrectly functioning 
fans I've measured draw around 8 amps each. These fuses are not 
quick-blow, but anti-surge, that is they require heat to pop. They will 
sustain a current greater than their rating for a short period - for 
example, the time it takes the fans to fire up. I've got a pair of 
relays running my fans - one for each fan, and each is fused at 10A and 
neither have ever needed new fuses. I run the fans constantly with AC.

FWIW I've repaired a couple of fan fail modules now!
