cyrus Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 My tarus fan draws 32 amps running. It runs great but isn't that a little much to draw it blow 30 amps fuses but not 40 ampers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Here is a great article on the Taurus fan: http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2003/02/electricfan/index.shtml Here is what you are after form the article: "Using a Fluke digital clamp ammeter, we tested the starting (or inrush) current draw and the operating current draw. The Taurus fan pulled a little over 130 amps on startup (only for milliseconds) and settled down to right around 40 amps using the high-speed wire. This is why you must upgrade to the bigger alternator and a Bosch high-powered relay." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
