Mosfet Upgade
Posted: November 27th, 2018, 4:28 am
Hi all
If this is the wrong section, please let me know.
I bought a Mosfet
I have wired it up, I think correctly as it seems very simple, I set the temp of the bed to say 60°C and nothing happens, it does not get hot.
I am not an electrician so I am limited to what I can do.
I have checked the voltage that goes into the Mosfet and it's 12v, so that bit is OK.
The output is zero.
I have tried switching around the wires that come from the MKS board but that make no difference.
I think the Mosfet is not working.
I took out the Mosfet and I re-connected the old wiring and it works OK.
The reason I wanted to upgrade is because I sometimes get Themal runway error, reset when heating the bed.
Any advice would be useful.
Thanks
Lez
