BEARDOG, what do you mean heat? Do you think I am going to that much heat running 2 loops and a small yard?
Mike has it under control!!
Likely he does, but a nod to saftey never hurts. 😇
A power supply can build heat without good ventilation. Those old ho packs are no exception and if it runs warm as is, that space could allow a thermal build up that could snowball into blisters or worse🥓🍳 🍟🤔💣😵The thermal breaker likely won't stop a old heat prone voltage disapation ciruit from continued working...hard to say without touching it, though I get it's only 2.5 amp in a big case. (that isn't 7.5a, is it?)
I always feel out the heat on any new power supply set up...no exceptions. Even scary spots got an infrared temp check.
Likely it is under control, but I bet it at least trips the thermal breaker a tad faster 😜
And if you think thats ocd...Without thought..despite the pacs postion needed FOR the cover's photo, my initial reaction TO the cover's photo was that I wanted to seal the cover's holes.... simply because of the can was above it in the other shot😁
But now I know now they are there for some added ventilation 🤡
