    hello all, noob question. i have this diagram i'm trying to understand. see image below. if you look on the right side near the po u-182, just to the left of the dotted line is a kind of dashed circle. it does something between connector D and connector A. It's not a join that i can tell because...

    DC Power Supply Noise?

    no schematic yet. At work. but I don't think it draws more than 2 amps. I only nave a multimeter from radioshack and only rarely use it.

    Wire size for current?

    Well the alternator is a 12v. Unfortunately I can't post pics of the tank until March. In fact, I was informed today I'm not supposed to discuss this in detail until March. So I have to somehow remove the specifics other than to say "tank". However, I WILL post pics once allowed. Stupid contracts.

    Wire size for current?

    Fantastic, thanks. In addition, to travel a distance, is it better to have higher amps or higher volts? My thought is amps. I ask because we have a 12v system off an alternator and I'm using a 12 to 24v up converter. So the upconverter would be better placed closer to the destination than...

    Wire size for current?

    we don't know actually. The guy who owned/worked on the tank before did a hell of a number on it. The motors that turn the turret are unknown amperage. I need to get it taken apart and look. The elevation motor may be shot but I think it's 24v as well. Not sure. We're trying to unfreeze it right...

    DC Power Supply Noise?

    So, this will mess with a few peoples heads. I'm a re-enactor. We have a tank. It's a mess. The comms systems is a VIC-1 from the early 80's. The engine is a new Detroit Diesel. So...yeah. there's that. We have to rewire a lot of the vehicle cause the last owners really effed it up bad. In fact...

    DC Power Supply Noise?

    Hello Again All, so I have a system that uses 24v, it's an intercom system to be used in a tank. All wired together. Most of the cabling is military grade. I'm wondering about power in though. So we have a 12v Alternator on the engine. I have it running through 12 to 24v step up converter. Very...

    Step Up Converter?

    Hello, So we have an automotive application here. The alternator currently in the system runs 12v. Not sure how many amps. Trying to get that now. We have two systems that require 24v. one draws a couple amps. the other draws what looks like 20 amps. Instead of installing a second alternator...

    Wire size for current?

    Hello Again all, I'm the crazy guy wiring up a tank. With all of your help I got the radio working. Thanks! Next, I need to wire the tank up with cable. I was wondering if I could use home 12/2 wire or 14/2 but I'm not sure how to calculate the rating. One alternator will put out 12v, the other...
