Precharge Resistor, is soldering OK?
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:23 am
I am using a pre-charge resistor across the contacts of a constant high current relay as shown in the lower middle of the photo (green resister and metal can). I've never wired one before and would like to know if I can solder the wire to the resistor (8 awg wire) or if I should use a crimp contact for it? 24V system at 73A max battery current, about 30-40A running current.
Do I need to use a wire size to the resistor that is high current or can 14-16AWG be safe enough?
Thank you in advance for your response.
