RMweb Gold ITG Posted February 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2023 I use Heathcote servos to drive uncoupling ramps for tension lock couplings, via a separate 12v DC supply. As I’m now on the verge of building a new layout, I’ve realised that I didn’t pay a lot of attention to power usage for the wiring I used previously. It was 6 way cable - maybe alarm cabling. It worked without problem so presumably ok. The multi colours help with wiring back to push buttons, and using a common negative. I’ve seen 10 way ribbon cable, sized 28AWG 7.0, for the new layout. Is this likely to be ok for these servos. thanks ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosland Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If you are just referring to the wiring to the buttons then it should be fine. I don't know the design, but there should be no appreciable current through them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
