Thanks, I was \"sure\" it was the other way around.\n\nSo, if the current drops a little on a jam, why would it burn up either the transformer or motor?\n\nGreg KO6TH\n\n\n> From: [email protected]\n> To: [email protected]\n> Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2009 18:42:15 -0800\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: G-5500 stuck problem\n> \n> Hi Greg,\n> Actually you need to measure the current while it is moving, then if it drops a little then its a jam, if it goes to zero then \n> its the limit switch.\n> \n> I know this goes against reasoning, you expect a locked motor to pull more current, but these are split winding AC motors with a \n> capacitor and they act differently.\n> \n> This is also why when you get a cable snag you burn up the motor or the transformer or both before you blow the fuse, that fuse I \n> think just saves you from a mis-wired or shorted cable.\n> \n> 73\n> Kevin WA6FWF\n> \n> \n> ----- Original Message ----- \n> From: \"Greg D.\" <[email protected]>\n> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>\n> Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 5:58 PM\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: G-5500 stuck problem\n> \n> \n> >\n> > To differentiate between a stuck gear or the limit switch (or similar), can you measure the drive current going to the rotor?
