My Ranger blowing 5 amp fuse.
My Ranger is blowing the 5 amp primary fuse every once in a while when
I turn it on. I have checked for any kind of intermittent short but
unable to find anything. I am now suspecting inrush current. My Ranger
has all the power supply mods. Solid state HV and LV power supplies
with 330mfd LV cap and 165mfd HV cap. At first did not suspect inrush
current due to having choke input filters but I suppose with the solid
state rectifiers and the large caps it maybe happening. Does anyone
have any suggestions to limit this inrush current in the Ranger. Also,
does anyone know what the Ranger's nominal current consumption is from
the 117 VAC source under full load? Any info is appreciated. 73, Randy
