Missouri | The 40 amp still pops too frequently.
The clutches are powered constant hot, and the clutch control module switches the ground. 40 amps is more than the rating of the clutch control module, which is an expensive part.
These clutches, when used singly, require either a 15 amp fuse, or a 10 amp time delay fuse, to operate.
The issue is when the voltage sags. The solenoids only pull 1.5 amps when pulled in, but can pull into the 20's when the plunger sticks. It is not uncommon to see the voltage sag 3-4 volts on the planter side of that 10 ga wire when all 4 clutches are simultaneously disengaged. Those solenoids perform very poorly under that kind of voltage sag. It's a real chicken/egg scenario. The voltage sag can be both the cause of, and caused by the solenoid plunger not pulling in. | |

Planter with 4x trucount electric clutches. blowing fuses. looking for solutions.
