convertor, fan clutch

[mr.c]

I got a fan clutch from cinnibar which is a very heavy duty. It does roar when
it cuts in.

I've been told the best replacement for my dead convertor is the 75 amp
unit
from Todd engineering. Where can I get one at a good price? Also, I've
been
told I have the wrong fan clutch, and need the heavy duty clutch. Which
one
of those in the Parts Interchange Index is that? It lists a NAPA 271303 =
(I
have the 455) and a "no roar" Hayden 15-4298. The one I have now doesn't=

roar, is it the one that roars that's the heavy duty clutch? By "roar" I=

assume they mean the roaring like that which accompanies a fan with a
frozen
clutch.

Everyone has been great about giving me help. I appreciate any info on
this
you can offer.

The NAPA number you have is correct. The 271303 is made by Murray of the
same part #. You can hear the clutch whyen engaged but mine is never on for
long, mostly when restarting the coach when warm.

I noticed the Caspro catalogue lists a 60 Amp (actually 2x30 amps)
convertor/charger. Does anyone know how the Caspro and Todd units compare?
What are the differences between them and, especially, which is better at
rapidly but gently charging the coach batteries and tapering the charge so
as to not fry them?

I've been using the Caspro chargers for many years. I have them mounted
inside behind the gen/bat compartment (but inside under my bed). Not a
favorable place for cooling, but they seems to survive.

It has a gentle charge and rapid charge setting, controlled by adding a
toggle switch. I use it mostly in gentle and have only used max when
charging with genset and wanted shortest charge time. (Max only recommended
for a 24hr stretch at a time).

I'm always plugged in at home, i..e charger is on line at all times.

It makes very little noise (if any), i.e. have to really listen for it with
your ear pressed to the mattress (and it's not just the mattress absorbing).

I ran a 110 circuit to the charger(s) and connected straight to the battery
with a 50amp/12V (I think) circiut breaker.

No fans to distribute dust.
