As the title says can't get it to run at all after freeway ride help anyone? Thanx in advance
Wouldn't that also stress the Pamco unit, or is it current-protected?
The transistor in the PAMCO is rated for 14 Amps continuous current at 110C (230F). It is only on for 60/360 = 16% X 2 = 33% of the time so the effective or average current in this particular case would be 14.5/1.5 = 9.66 X .33 = 3.19 Amps. However, we do not know what exactly happens when the coil heats up. The resistance would of course increase and the current would decrease, but it is possible that some other anomaly occurs, such as a direct short, when the coil heats up as there is actual physical movement of the windings due to thermal expansion.
