Temperature of the driver

[ReefRick]

Hi Roger,

Need for advice on this.
Today while relocating my electric, i notice that one of the driver for the 6100 is hotter than the other.
Both the drivers are connected to the 7094 controller running at 30/100 & 40/90.

The pumps has been running for a month with no problem, but am just curious about the temperature difference of the driver.

Is this normal?:worried:

Thanks.

They do get kind of warm- it might be worth cleaning the one that runs warmer- this indicates a higher demand for current. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it there are safety devices that would activate and shut things off if it was excessive.

Thanks Roger, i've since set both to 30/100 and see if one is still hotter than the other.
My initial concern arised as one is warm while the other is hot to touch.

Clean the drive unit and see if that helps.
