Wed, 15 September 2004 04:51 Ed, don't you think you are going way overboard with cable size? Lets assume you draw 150Amps on start up (1.8kW Starter, which I believe would be bigger than yours) Lets say you use 4 guage cable (0.00097 ohm/M) Lets say you have 4 metres of cable. Your volt drop will be V=RI V = 0.00097 x 4 x 150 V < 0.6 Volts I wouldnt be worried about 0.6 volts. Your connections are probably going to have that much volt drop unless you are able to get them perfect. I also wouldnt be worried about the current draw. Its only going to be on for a few secs at a time, and thats not enough time for the cable to heat up. And once again, I'd be more worried about the connections not being perfect, and getting hotspots. I plan to run with a single 4gauge, from battery to the starter. It will also supply the distribution block as the starter basically kills every other circuit. [Report message to a moderator]
