[William Miller]

Jay:

 

Is this true for an FX manufactured in 2003?  What version manual is this from?

Hi William

 

Page 23 of the VFX manual states " will reset if short circuited, no fusing is required".

I suspect shorting the Aux leads will kill an FX inverter.  We traced the Aux PCB traces to the scorch marks on the control board, so it seemed pretty clear we had tested the scenario.

Hi William

 

Supposed to be. 

I've tried them with too large of a relay and wouldn't work ( the relay that is). Dead short would be the same. 

 

But i did have a VFX 3648 many years ago that had 48v on the aux output. Stumped the hell out of outback. While talking to tech, they had me short the aux wires, and poof 1 dead inverter.
