      PWM for DUAL fans and EWP

      I'm currently running the DCC 65P35 pwm controller for my Meziere electric water pump and 2 SPAL fans on my C&R setup. It seems it was only made for 1 cooling fan and although I increased the gauge of the main power wire, the 2 power wires coming off the single fan post output, and the ground wires, I can't help but wonder if I'm pushing it to a premature failure by running the amperage of both fans at max come summer time when it will reach 120F outside.

      I went to their website hoping to see an updated dual fan version but I do not. What is currently on the market that is made to support dual fans and an ewp in a stand-alone PWM controller?

      Feel free to tell me I'm crazy for wanting to waste more money and that it won't stress the DCC unit. I will listen and save the $$$. But if it wasn't made for this, let me know what you guys are running instead.



      ...and no I don't want my Holley running my fans and ewp because I want them wired as their own button on my control panel as I run them after turning off the car for cool down after track laps or simply at the gas station to combat heat soak after shutdown.

      Thanks!

      So long as the fan controller current rating is greater than the total max current of two fans it should be fine. I have run pwm controllers with dual fans in multiple builds.

      As mentioned, I'm running the DCC 65P35 controller.

      I can't recall the exact model # of the SPALs off the top of my head, but I know they and my EWP are rated for 48 amps all combined at full tilt.

      The reason I made the post is because the documentation for the 65P35 doesn't list its rated capacity and it's no longer listed on their website. So I'm hoping one of the many users of them here might know. I was also curious if anyone has had any failures running 2 fans with it as opposed to one.

      If I'm concerned enough I could email DCC and ask them.
