| Subject: | Replacing copper bar with tefzel wire |
I am building a Vans RV7 , IO360, Z101, using B&C master and starter contactors,
and an EarthX ETX 900 battery. I cant easily use the Vans design solution of
0.125 thick copper bar, about 3 long x 0.5 wide, to connect the master solenoid
to the starter solenoid, due to physical placement on my firewall and the stud
orientation on the B&C starter contactor. So I want to use an insulated wire
instead of the bar, maybe only 4 or so.
>From old posts on vansAirforce.net forum, the current here is estimated to be
up to 320 amps for short periods while cranking the starter. Is that correct?
What gauge tefzel wire should I use to maintain the functionality and safety of
the copper bar?
