mooserage Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I saw in the instructions the largest wire the superseal connector can accommodate is 16 AWG, so if I have a 10 AWG fuel pump wire, for example, is the recommendation to simply splice down to 2 16 AWG inputs for the 2 High Output pins in the the last couple inches before the connector? Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Correct, either splice the two 16AWG output wires close to the PDM to a single larger wire, or run the 2 wires all the way to the device. Splicing to a single wire close to the source is typically considered the preferred option for high current devices as with the shared wire option you have more risk of overheating a wire if there is some factor that causes the load to not be shared equally between the wires such as a bad crimp or broken copper strand etc. mooserage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooserage Posted May 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I was thinking the risk of overheating was going to be lower with the single wire as well, so thank you for confirming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
