Hello,
A DC/DC converter (20A) provides the power to the control system. We also have recently put in a fan to cool the machine that is 24VDC and draws 7A when running. The problem is that for a split second when it starts, there is 22A that is so high, the voltage drops causes control system problems.
Now is there a device I can buy that will limit the current of the fan of say max 10A, just to get it started?
Thinking of something like a DC/DC converter at the fan that is current limited to 10A or a resister (but that would be a big resistor).
The fan was not in the design as a last minute addition to remove heat and the wiring has been done and cant be changed.
Regards
Matt
