6/4/08 Adams up and running for checkout.
One of the power supplies running 3 adams died. It suffered from thermal shutdown and dropped its output to 4vdc killing the adams. It's rating is 12Ain and was operating in the wind tunnel: not encouraging given prospects in central valley. After letting it cool, we restarted and measured the following currents and measured the profile adam running on a second supply:
Adam | Amps | A-total | VDC | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
downwind1 | 2.3 | 2.3 | 13.6 | 10 sonics |
upwind | 2.8 | 5.1 | 13.6 | 1x sonics, & etherant worth ~.3 |
downwind2 | 2.9 | 8 | 13.6 | 12 sonics |
profile | 2.5 |
| 12.6 | 3-trh, licor |
We put a 3rd supply to split the larger load.
