The Centroid documentation does not give specs (e.g. max amps) for the "Logic Power Supply" used by Oak. Can you please tell me the max amps so I can protect Oak with a supplementary breaker. If a breaker is unnecessary because of protections built in to the power supply, it would be good to know that too.
Thank you.

Meanwell RQ65-D is the power supply that came with mine. There is an internal fuse, but it's not user replaceable.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Supplementary Breaker for Oak
Power up the logic supply while connected to OAK, and measure its current. Use properly sized fuse(s). It doesn't draw that much. If you use a breaker, make sure it is sized appropriately and is of the proper type. I tend to stick with commonly available AGC glass fuses. I also use standard readily available cartridge fuses on my incoming power after the rotary disconnect switch. But that's me.jtcrew wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:26 am The Centroid documentation does not give specs (e.g. max amps) for the "Logic Power Supply" used by Oak.

I don't generally fuse the logic power supply because most of my controls are relatively small. If the control side is fused with 10A fuses, I use 16 gauge for everything downstream of the fuses. If the main fuses are 15A then I would use 14 gauge down stream of them. I use a separate set of main fuses to power the VFD.
I also tend to follow the Centroid provided schematics if the build is pretty typical.
