- Does anybody know of a website that has a reference chart on wire sizes needed to wire a car. Maybe a street rod site or something. I'm re-wiring my race car and need some help. I'm not too concerned

- Basically it's just a matter of adding up all the potential concurrent loads on the downstream side of the fuse panel (current draw for each motor, etc.). Once you have the total amperage required, a

- With 4 or 6 gage I would put in a 100 amp fusible link with 8 ga run a 60 amp one.. If you need that much electricity run a alternator rated for more than the connected loads as well Do not use AC ra

- If I had a very heavy load I'd think about splitting the system into branches; this way each branch can deal with lower current. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- From: land-speed-bounce

- I agree-- switch & relay contacts, etc are rated separately for AC and DC operation. Make sure the toggle switches are rated for high current DC operation; using a 110VAC rated toggle switch on 12 o

- The circuits I'm looking at are: Fuel Pump 15a; water pump 30a; fans 30a, trans cooler 10a; driver air blower 10a. I don't know what to fuse the ignition at. Dick Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the b

- You might look in the archives; a while back I posted a table of recommended wire sizes for current draw that I found in an aerospace handbook. It also had fuse/circuit breaker sizes for various wir
