Hi all,
I was just about finished wiring up my Quattro, and I was doing a check for shorts with my multimeter. At the time of testing, the short power (AC in #1) and battery connections were not connected to anything, and the AC out #1 and #2 were wired through an AC fuses to a pair of outlets, with nothing connected.
Before connecting the wires, no shorts were found.
After connecting the AC In #1, both AC outs, and the battery terminals, I started checking for shorts and I found that, unpowered, there was a short between AC Out #1's Positive and Neutral lugs. Measured in ohms, it was sitting around 2->0.5 ohms. Out #1 is protected by the batteries, Out #2 is not. There's an open circuit on #2's Neutral and Positive lugs.
Similarly, I measured a short between the battery Positive and Negative lugs. When I switched to measure resistance, however, I saw it started at <10 ohms, and after about a minute (or less), it had climbed to 2.5 kohms, making me think there's a capacitor bridging the posts?
Is this expected? I'm guessing it is, but given the cost of the Quattro, I'd rather check in to see before I apply power via the batteries or shore power for the first time.
"1" i AC Out #1, "2" is AC Out #2 and "3" are the battery posts (obviously :) ).
Thanks!
