Installation questions:
With limited breaker positions in my DC panel, I plan to combine certain Furuno products on breakers. I am having trouble finding actual current draw for the products.
1) Is there a source for actual max current draw for each product you build?
I have searched the literature for amperage draw for a TZT3 16” and 12” MFD. The fuse size is recommended at 7.5 and 4.0 amps respectively. I plan to combine the two, and also add the DRS4D-NXT (5.0 amp fuse and current draw of 2.5 amp max per other forum post) to one breaker.
2) In lieu of having actual max current draw, would you add the three fuse sizes and use that for breaker sizing?
I have a NavPilot 300 to install. The one way power run to the Octopump (pump oct 16-12) is approximately 38 feet from the preferred FAP3012 processor location. On another forum post, the suggestion was to use a 20 amp fuse on a 10-12. The 16-12 max amp draw is stated at 18 amps.
3) The tentative plan is to use either 4 or 6 awg wire between the units for the 38 foot run. Which would you suggest?
4) Should I use a 20 amp breaker or 25 amp breaker for the NavPilot system?
