Hello forum. i have the strangest think going on.. I am running a CarPC that uses a 12v DC 200Watt ATX. i am powering that PSU, from the battery, with two 4m cables (positive and grounding). the wires are pretty thin. around 20AWG gauge (they are the same diameter, as the cables that the ATX connecto has).
If at stasis, the computer works perfectly. the wires do not get hot, or anything like that. now... IF i shock the wires a bit (vibrate them) , then the PC imidietly shuts down!
my PSU, has a low voltage battery protection, so it is supposed to auto-turn off, if the voltage is lower than 11.5V.
i have tried with shorter length of wire, and it works just fine...
Will this go away if i use Larger gauge cables??
thnx!
