| Subject: | Fusible Link for Lightspeed Ignition |
I am using dual lightspeed ignitions on my project. Lightspeed's instructio
ns specify using 18ga shielded wire, the shield used as the ground return a
nd wiring directly from the battery to a 7.5 amp panel circuit breaker. I w
ant to use a fusible links to protect the wires from the battteries to the
circuit breaker. I acquired 14 gauge shielded wire. My plan was to separate
the conductor from the shield, use an 18ga conductor for the fusible link
and solder an 18 ga ground lead to the shield. The problem I am having is s
eparating the center wire from the shield. I end up breaking 30 to 50% of t
he tiny shield strands while separating the center conductor. The resulting
connection is less than ideal both electrically and security wise. I'm thi
nking a better method would be to roll shield back over the outer insulatio
n and use a solder sleeve with an 18ga pigtail. I have made a couple practi
ce connections and they seem very secure, especially when the whole joint i
s reinforced with some additional heat shrink. Does this seem like an okay
approach? It's a very important termination.

FYI Bob has some thoughts on Lightspeed EI power wiring.
