oops!!

DC fans pull
12" = 9amps
14" = 11amps
16" = 19amps Shocked

they say these are maximum current, but not if it's continuous maximum.. the peak current on starting might be a lot higher..

do you have a multimeter that can take 20amps? connect inline and see?

Well, they are 12.5-13" fans.

And no, I don't have a 20A DMM only a 10A.

I have now converted to 8guage power wire (bout to go buy the fuse holder), a twin input/output relay, and wired both power and earth for each fan independantly.

So it should be all good.

Previous was a 12" Davies Craig fan with a 10A fuse, and that was what came in the pack.

well if the amps he listed are for startup then a 10A fuse should be more than enough. 9A seems like alot of current draw for a pissy little 12" fan to continuously draw
