Title: ZKIT2 Fuse Value Post by RonFranks on 10/13/21 at 18:24:59 I’m building the ZKIT2 as monoblocks with a power transformer for each chassis. I can’t seem to find the recommended AC line fuse value anywhere. Can someone please help? |

Title: Re: ZKIT2 Fuse Value Post by RonFranks on 10/24/21 at 23:32:30 Thanks so much. One question. If the transformers heaters are rated at 6.3 VCT 5A, it doesn’t seem that a 3 amp fuse is a high enough value. Can you explain why a 5 amp draw wouldn’t blow a 3 amp fuse? I’m guessing the rating and the current draw are quite different, with the actual draw being less. |
Title: Re: ZKIT2 Fuse Value Post by one6180339 on 10/26/21 at 06:06:10 The 3A fuse is on the 120 VAC side of the transformer. 3A at 120 VAC is way more power than 5A at 6.3 VAC |
