Can this happen???? [RE-wrenches]

[Holt Kelly]

Below is reply from Windy. 


Holt,

Dead battery bank to have sudden voltage drop? - Sure! Sudden current 
spike? -- I don't know how a current spike can occur through a 
resistance without there being a voltage spike to drive it.

The SunRise pump does have a 10K ohm resistor across its brush 
connections. Its (only) purpose is to facilitate troubleshooting so 
you can distinguish between a broken wire somewhere, and broken brush 
connection. If the whole circuit is intact except for the brush 
connection, you read right around 10K on your ohm meter.

It would take a substantially high voltage spike to blow that 
resistor, and we have NEVER seen that happen.

You say the meter reads NO continuity. If the circuit is open (>10K), 
you need to consider any possible break in the pump cable circuit 
(including splice) or within the pump (not likely with a new pump).

If you want to be more specific on this, you might be best to take it 
up with Tim Vaughn here, as he is now handling tech support.
