Probably only a couple of amps. Right Tracy?
This may be understating the requirement. You need:
4 - 7 amps for EFI pump
4 - 6 amps for ignition ignitors
5 - 7 amps for injectors
1/4 amp for EFI controller (EC2 type)
13 - 20 amps total depending on exact parts & RPM of engine."
That may be the case, but there are a couple of variables which are
Dependent on engine RPM.
The fuel pump and EFI will draw it's normal current independent of RPM.
The draw injectors and igniters, I believe are a product of RPM. It
would be interesting to see the actual draw at T.O. power, high and low
cruise.
These are important facts to know since the rotary is totally electric
dependent. Perhaps dual alternators are appropriate???
