Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion....
The main reason for splitting up the relays into two sets is that with 10A traces the connector pins would violate minimum separation distances. I would have to get even larger connectors. The ones in the design have 5 mm pitch.
I’m assuming the original board also did this for the same reason although their board is set up for 8 motors split into sets of 4.
I’ve also had some trouble sourcing a 10A fuse suited for inductive loads but I’m sure I could find one with some more time.
The whole board is on its own house circuit fused with a 16A breaker.
