Mosfet Electronic Fuse

    Hi All.

    I am about to wire in one of these from Gate:

    http://gatee.eu/en/nanoasr

    Part of the specs say:
    Electronic Fuse
    A new MOSFET will never let you down on the battlefield. It is totally protected against overheating and short-circuits of the electrical system. In case of the rifle becoming jammed, it will protect the motor and the battery against any damage.

    Which I thought was great, as I could do away with the bulky glass fuse in the stock ;)

    Now reading the installation manual (snippet attached), it recommends to keep the fuse between the battery and the Mosfet, unlike previous versions, which do not mention a fuse at all :confused:

    So, what is the point of the Mosfet Electronic Fuse?

    Read threads before about fuse/no fuse in AEG's and no intention to currently upgrade to a LiPo (just upgrading wiring and installing mosfet in standard G&G GR15 with 9.6v NiMh) so will the electronic fuse be enough to protect against faults as it intimates??

    Cheers,

    Adam

    It should be absolutely fine. I don't run any guns with fuses (mosfet or no mosfet) and once you're not an idiot, you'll have no issues.

    Just an update:

    This is the reply I received from GATE, when I asked the question above:

    The standard glass-fuse is always required. Theoretically, electronics can fail. We do not want then the explosion of the lipo battery. Earlier manuals are underdeveloped.

    Happy to go without though as so many others appear to....

    Cheers,

    Adam
