Please confirm before A5 purchase

Mittwoch, 1. Juni 2011, 15:33

Hi all,

I'm ready to buy an Aquaero 5, and two PowerAdjust 2, but i'd like you to confirm me some information about the power output.

I'm planning to use the A5 to control fans and PowerAdjusts to control pumps.

Here are the specs :

Fans : 9x Scythe ULTRA KAZE 3000 : 0.60A / 7.2W, divided on 3 triple radiators, so 3 fans per channel.
Pump 1 : DDC1+
Pump 2 : MCP655

I know that poweradjusts can handle each of my pumps, but i'd like to be sure about A5 handling the fans.

Each of the 3 first channels will controll 3 fans... so 3x0.6A=1.8A (21.6W) per channel.
And a total of 9 fans on the A5.... so 9x0.6A=5.4A (64.8W)

Can the A5 handle it ?
If not, what's the best alternative to this ? More poweadjusts ?

Thx in advance for your help
Alex

I guess that will not work because the rating of 7.2W is meant for 12V but when you slow down the fans the load is even higher. I'm pretty sure you will exceed the 60W limit massively. The only way to get more power is to add another poweradjust controller.
