PV burnt out

#1 Post by pstamper » Thu Nov 06, 2014 12:44 am

Controller burnt out. Bike had main fuse blow so started checking bike. Checked rectifier and it showed continuity to ground. I unplugged it and fuse did not blow. Then I smelled a burnt odor and found fuse blown to PV controller. Took controller apart and found some resistors burnt out. My question is should there be continuity from the power feed to ground on the rectifier. I checked all the directions on the 4 terminals and all had continuity. Old reliable finally broke down. Trying to track controller and rectifier down.
