PCB Build

(Still waiting for J4 screw terminals to arrive - this is what connects back to the CMRI node)

Quick and dirty, but using the same current transformer that the NCE version uses (1:200 turn ratio)

  • LED1 electrically does not have a polarity as it voltage is AC and swings positive and negative

Wiring

2 ea of 12 inch 18 ga wires

  • Pad closest to diode get a fork terminal crimped at end
  • Pad closest to PTC resistor gets a male spade connector crimped at end
  • Single wire through current sense transformer is 1.5" 18ga

Timeline

 Boards shipped from pcbway today

 PCBs arrived and bench testing is complete

 1st 5 units are built and tested

 Starting second group of 5


Demonstration


This video demonstrates over-current  and reset using a 2A high current short in parallel with a 200mA load across the track. Over-current LED comes on and resets with 200mA load on the track after the short is removed.
