|
My "el cheapo" DG quit working about ten minutes into my first
flight. The 1 Amp fuse blown that protected the DG and its wiring was
blown. The DG was still dead after replacing the fuse and the fuse
didn't blow again. I pulled the DG and sent it back to its
manufacturer. They reported that a circuit board was fried from a
high voltage power surge. I say that is BS. No other fuses were blown
and there are no other indications of a power surge. My bird is all
electric, externally regulated, with over voltage protection. The OV
CB has never opened.
It is my opinion that the el cheapo circuit board shorted out on its
own, causing the fuse to blow.
Any comments?
