Power Switch for 3 Motors?

Robotics and electronics discussion Miscellaneous

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a power switch for 3 Banebot 445 motors? These run at 6.6A nominal current, stall current is 35A, but we have fuses at 25A. Do I need a switch that can handle 75A?
(we also have 3 servos, but these are going to be in the noise, I think)

Thanks,
Nate

Hello,

You might consider http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-SW75.html or some of the other switches they have there. If I could get a 75 A switch fairly easily, I would just go ahead and use it (as opposed to getting a slightly less capable switch and then finding out I did need the 75 A).
