Wiring Questions

[Robert Wollenberg]

I was trying to find the current draw of a headrest monitor. No luck. But I can't imagine it's very much. You could probably run several off a 16 awg wire with a 5 amp fuse and not have problems. It would be pretty easy to figure out if I knew what their current draw was.

yea i dont know off the top of my head but they dont need much.....

This is all th info I could get on the moniters
Operating Temperature 0°~60°C
-Operating Humidity 20%~85%
-Operating Voltage DC+12V
-Power Consumption <10W

So, that should be less than one amp of current draw by my math. Does anybody disagree? That being the case, you could easily run several montors off a smaller gage wire with minimal fusing. A five amp fuse should be adequate for even 5 monitors. As for wire size, You could safely use what ever small gage speaker wire you have laying around to extend your power wires as far as you needed to.
