Tobin Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi, I am commissioning the Warner Electric brakes on my 17 Pounder AT gun in prep for XXX Corps. These brakes were also fitted I believe to 5.5" guns and 7.2" Howitzers. Does anyone know what voltage they run on. The Portee is 12v with the Warner voltage dropper to 6V but I am getting 12v at the brake units despite the voltage dropper. Is this correct or not?

Roof Over Britain Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 You will read 12V with a volt meter even with the dropper, only when you connect a load ie. the brake actuator, will you see a reduction in voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobin Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Many thanks, that makes good sense. I will check it and report! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
