Re: Crazy wiring. (was Fan Zilla)

I made a change to my fan wiring as well. I removed the "fan fail 
module", rewired the relay socket for that location as well as the 
basic fan relay location, and then installed two new 40 amp relays in 
the revised sockets. I now have a separate relay for each fan, so if 
one goes bad, I still have the other. As you know, I'm into fail 
safety type installations. The other change was to install heavier 
duty circuit breakers for each fan. The fan motors draw a huge 
current on startup, and then the draw tapers off for normal 
operation. That initial current with both fans feeding through a 
single relay can easily overwhelm the single 35 amp relay originally 
installed. I have wiring in place for a separate switch to manually 
activate the fans, but I haven't installed the switch yet. "So many 
mods, so little time".
