Hi Gang,
From this and other forums I think I got it straight in my mind about wiring up these fans using relays and such. I'm considering using a capacitor to smooth out the startup spike of amps to achieve slow start to take it easy on the fan motors. IF using a capacitor once it reaches capacity does it just DUMP amperage onto the line? (and POP goes your wiring)? and where in this circuit would be the approapriate place to splice one in? between power and the relays? OR between the relays and the fans?
Thanks and a lift of the lynch lid for any responses.
