rob and all,
Thank you for all your comments, suggestions, recommendations and concerns. They have all been very helpful in me thinking about the power requirements and in how stairlifts operate. My latest inquiry was to Acorn and I asked if they could tell me the amp rating of the fuses used in the Acorn stairlifts. The gentleman I talked to said he’d need to contact the technical folks, which he did while I waited on line. He came back shortly saying there is a 20 amp on the motherboard board and a 15 amp in the line from the battery. That helps satisfy my curiosity at the moment.
I was interested in the comment Rob made about ‘academic qualifications -Stairlift Technology. I thought perhaps there was a technical manual that is available that I could add to my library. I ‘googled’ that phrase but didn’t gain any useful ‘hits’. I’d appreciate knowing if there are any text books available to the public if there are any.
Thanks again for all the info you’ve provided in this forum on this project. I’ll take some time now to digest it all.
