OK. I have earlier burnt a EZB. Not sure if its my fault or problem with the EZB. Had to buy a new one.
Anyway, this is how I connected my EZB to my power and servo.
I just want to make sure that the connection is correct and can be used before I burn another EZB.
So, this connection will not burn my EZB again, right? Even if I were to run 20 servos using this configuration.
Amperage is the real thing to watch. In simple terms, Power supplies and batteries supply the amps. Motors and devices draw (or suck) amps. You want to make sure you add up all the amps of all devices, motors and lights connected to your power source. Then add about 20%. Compare that number to what your power source is rated for to see if you will be able to supply the needed amps.
Another critical factor is wire and connector size. If the wire is too small your device will be starved for power and the wire will heat up. A good tight and proper connection at all points is always needed.
Think of an electrical circuit like a water pipe; the amperage is the water, the voltage is the pressure behind the water pushing it and the conductor is the pipe. Change any of these in any way and you change the flow of the water and how it comes out of the nozzle. If you have a bad connection it leaks. Think through each one and compare it to an electrical circuit. The only thing is, if you mess up an electrical circuit you don't really want to use that water to put out the fire.
