Can I put 2 ice 75A bec in parallel -
02.18.2012, 10:55 AM
I'm working on an A10 project that will use 2 70mm fans that pull 64A max each on 4S and decided to go with dual ice 75s. I've been reading and everyone has an opinion on if its better or worst to do this. I would like a difinitive answer from Castle if possible on this one, and also welcome any member comments on the forum. I've read the internal bec of the castle controller already uses 2 chips in parallel for the bec. I would keep the bec wires intact (no shortening) and put them in parallel and connect them up to the radio. I dont think my servo load will be over 5A for this plane. So my questions.
1. Is it possible without any harm to the controllers?
2. Will one bec do most of the work while the other helps out when the voltage drop falls below the rating of the other?
3. Will both BEC's provide equal current since they are so closely matched keeping them operating at a cooler temp?
4. If one fails, does the other one kick in and take over providing a level of redundancy?
5. Is it better to just unplug one of the red wires from one of the controllers and let the bec of one do all the work?
Thanks for the help on this one.
