Working on load planning and electrical system design, and I'm planning on dual CPI2 electronic ignition. However, there seems to be a discrepancy between sources as to what current draw to plan for.
The CPI2 product page says:
...but the installation manual, when discussing wiring concerns (page 5), says of the controller:
...and of the coil power:
Now, I do realize that, taking the "less than" wording used in the manual literally, there's no disagreement here, since 1.2 is definitively less than 7, but the manual seems to imply a higher current draw.
Long story short, I just want to verify that I'm choosing the proper values for load planning (particularly in regards to planning for various failures).
Thanks!
The CPI2 product page says:
Low current draw/ long spark duration. 4 cylinder coil pack and controller draw about 1.2 amps at 2500 rpm.
...but the installation manual, when discussing wiring concerns (page 5), says of the controller:
The Purple 20 ga on the 14pin main harness plug, needs a 2 to 5 amp fuse or breaker. Current draw is less than 1 amp on this wire.
...and of the coil power:
With SDS supplied coilpacks, average current draw is less than 6 amps below 5000 rpms.
Now, I do realize that, taking the "less than" wording used in the manual literally, there's no disagreement here, since 1.2 is definitively less than 7, but the manual seems to imply a higher current draw.
Long story short, I just want to verify that I'm choosing the proper values for load planning (particularly in regards to planning for various failures).
