 Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:58 am Post subject: Wire size question for Z13/8. |
 |
|
Bob,
I'm looking at Z13/8 getting ready to order wire. I'm looking at the
wire sizes and noticed that the drawing calls for 20awg for the starter
contactor switch and 22awg for the battery contactor switch. Why is
this? Is it because the starter contactor draws more current? Or
perhaps the run is longer?
Thanks,
schu

Different Bob, but yes, the starter contractor draws much more than the battery contractor. Typical draw of a starter contractor is around five amps vs. less than an amp for a battery contractor.

Seems like my iPad decided I didn't know how to spell and decided to change 'contactor' into 'contractor'. I hate it when that happens.
