Hi all
I have a question about precharge resistors.
I am using a large 96V fardriver controller.
I purchased a 20W 2k ohm resistor and wired it up. I plugged it in before the main battery to controller connectors.
However Im still getting sparks on my Anderson connectors. I even waited a minute after plugging in the resistor connectors but it still happens.
I do have a second 20w 2k ohm resistor but it is a different brand/shape but they are both cement resistors.
My questions are
1. Is it ok to wire 2 different resistors together in parallel
2. If so, i assume the 2 resistors together will give an output of 10W 1k ohms? Will this charge the capacitors faster to reduce/eliminate sparks?
Thanks!!
