Hi,
I have a strange looking bus bar with 3 - 50amp ganged circuit breakers on the positive battery post. This is to power the winch shown below. I do not see any specs on the winch to know if this is what I really need to protect the winch from drawing too much current. Anyone had any experience with this kind of hook up?
I don't see a make or model on the winch. When I used the winch to pull me out of a self dug mud hole (nobody told me never go through a mud hole in 4WD low-first gear, or you'll dig yourself a monster hole,,, I did just that!). Ok back to the event, the winch stalled a few times and I had to bypass the circuit breakers to get a constant pull. It pulled me out with little effort. I later found the connections on the ganged circuit breakers to be loose. I removed them all, cleaned and tightened them, but have not had a chance to test the 'cleaned and tightened' connections yet.
So, anyone seen this setup before?
Thanks
