No recommendation in the docs I received with the kit. Thats why I am trying to figure this thing out.

Also, How do you determine the size of fuse? You said an 80W supply would use 10 amos. How did you get this #? Is there a calculation I should use?

I work with emergency lighting systems. I checked with those manufacturers and there 80w supplies generally draw 7-8 amps. I then bumped up to the next size available.

Formula

p=ie

p/e=i

80w/12v=6.7a

and the rest is lost to heat

Thanks. I just bought my fuse and relay this weekend. I will be installing 2 new circuits this week. Couldn't have done it without everyone's help! Will let you know once it is all set up.
