Subject: | Fuse to protect O/D solenoid? |

According to my Laycock manual, the actuating current for the A-type overdrive is approx 15A, while the holding current is 1A or less. As we all know, the leading cause of (expensive) solenoid failure is for the actuating current to be continuously applied to the solenoid. This can be caused by mis-adjustment, or by mushrooming of the plunger that switches to the lower holding current. So. . .would an inline slow-blow fuse of 5-10A prevent this type of failure? |
