How do you connect a TEC directly to the PSU?
I'm doing a project for school that involves a TEC unit. After reading around on the forums here, I've found that you can just connect the positive wire with either the 12V or 5V wire on the power connector. But my concern is with the current supplied by the PSU. The TEC unit I'm using is only 54.4W, with a Vmax of 15.4V and an Imax of 6A (numbers may not be accurate, this is just what I can remember). The power supply I'm using supplies 12V @ 12A. Would I end up frying my TEC unit if I just hook it up directly to the PSU without using any external resistors? The PSU will be totally dedicated to the TEC unit, so power supply isn't an issue here.
