Hello

So I've picked up this Furman Elite of eBay for spares and repair but now I think it might not be worth repairing.

What went is inrush PCB board which hasn't been described in description. You reckon that new PCB can be made as a project??
I like resurrecting things but this might be too much as we're playing with high currents here.

Anyone with knowledge about Furman power conditioners is wellcome to share opinion.

All you have to know is acceptable inrush current and delay time..
(under your own risk..)

The former is easily estimated by unit fusing where the later is calculated by unit power consumption..
(as far as I can see, delay time is set by a thermistor and not by a power resistor..)

So basically if nothing past the inrush PCB is fried (where inrush needs to be recreated) it's salvageable ?

I haven't checked anything yet but thinking about using it as a medium price project.
Only thing that concerns me now is if PCB is only two layers. If it's more then I'm screwed.
Still time to send it back to seller.
