Safety Link/ Links

[froggy]

Hi Guys

For my latest creation i will be using 2 voltage power rails 12v and 24v (see profile pic)
Where would best place to put safety link /links ?

Cheers Froggy

The circuit as drawn on your profile will not provide 24 volts where it says 24 V. Also you have batteries in parallel. If they are nicads you need to be sure they are at the same state of charge before connecting them in parallel. Dont try to charge them in parallel.

Sticking a wire between the neg of M1 and the pos of M2 should ........ I think .... give you 24v on M3.

Thanks for response guys...oops i missed a wire !!! new pic on profile...still cant work out best place for safety link/links ??

I think that youll need 2 ... doubled up to make a single link.

One link in each off the top lines of your drawing and before the speedos ........I.E. Just before the + shown in your drawing and just before the - shown in your drawing.

Hi Alan and all

I think between us we have come up with the best solution ! (see profile pic) comments and recomendations welcome .

Cheers Froggy

Yup ...that should do it.

Agreed, that covers all the requirements of the removable link rule. Dont forget your power light... wire a 24v LED across the downstream sides of the links or across the item marked as 30A speed controller on your diagram.

his power light has been put in the diagram by the link!

Slightly OT but are you going to optoisolate your ESCs from your receiver? (Isnt the signal ground normally connected to the supply ground for ESCs, creating a ground loop?)
