jay9158 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 hi all, has anybody fitted output fuses to the 16 channel diy kits to protect triacs from overload or short outs. thinking of adding them to my new kits as i had a dmaged cable last year that took a triac out and thought this would solve issue. any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I think the consensus is that the triacs are just as likely to blow as the fuse is, in case of a direct short (which is the most common case of dead triacs). If you wanted to add them for overload protection, that might be more viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
