What size fuse should be used with this fan if wiring with a relay and manual switch? Thanks

10 amp. in a fuse link should be fine. If it pops after extended run time, bump it up to a 15 amp. Remember the fuse should be the weakest point in the circuit so any fuse should be OK if you use the right wiring and nothing gets warm.

Use a 2 or 3 amp fuse. The LED current draw is negligible; the fuse will protect against a shorted wire.

I have used #12 with no problem could probably do number 10. none of the relays are bused together they all wire separate i have also used #18 they all seem to fit fine

Hi Jake, you will need the wiring kit which contains the relay, the horn voltage is too much for the horn switch and you must use the relay, its not much, about 12 bucks,iirc.

No this is not GFI (Ground fault interrupter), you would have to install separate GFI behind the switch or between the switch and fan. -- It is a very good timer switch, and I have wired several for use in bath exhaust fans. It's advantage is that it will handle larger loads (bigger fans) then most switches.

Clarification: you are fusing the wire and not the inverter. But assuming you have sized your wire correctly for the distance needed you should install a 200 or 250 amp fuse depending on the intended use of the inverter. If you plan on using the full 3000 watts or the 6000 watt startup surge on a regular basis use the 250 otherwise 200 would be safer.

I found that the W-32 switch did not work on the old fan I had. I have a CB2104616T serial FU30197 built in 1986 and needed a W-11 switch which is only sold at fixmycasabalancafan.com and is too expensive.

Any wiring harness that uses 12 or 10 gaige wire, has a relay that supports at least 20 amps, and fuse. As far as switches go any switch is fine, just keep in mind that if it is a lighted switch it will need to be run through the fuse as well.

Theoretically number 14 wire with a 15 amp breaker would do.the job, but some local codes do not allow smaller than number 12 wire. I would use number 12 with a 20 amp breaker and nothing else on the circuit

Yes, this is compatible with a fuse box, you might consider reading this article about the installation at utterpower.com. It will give you a very good idea as to what's involved. I hope I am allowed to post the link here http://www.utterpower.com/installing-a-generator-transfer-switch-at-zachs-house-21211/

You can wire the fan either way. It just depends on what you have for the electrical connection now. The connecting wire is not included with the fan. I used the one that was already installed with my old fan. It has a normal 3 prong plug. Since the plug and wire don't move once the fan is installed, the old wire was like new.

The two small terminals are the trigger, or coil wires. When 12V is applied to these, it closes the contact making a connection between the two large terminals. Run a wire from the battery negative, or a chassis ground point to either of the small contacts. You'll need to find a 12V + source that cycles on-off with the ignition switch. Run a wire from this point to one side of the toggle switch. Run a wire from the other terminal on the toggle switch to the remaining small contact on the relay. This will allow you to cycle the fan on & off with the toggle switch but will also cut the fan off automatically when you cut off the car to keep from running down the battery if the toggle switch is left on. Run a wire from the battery negative to the fan negative input side. Next run a wire from the battery positive, using an inline fuse, to either of the large terminals on the relay. Lastly run a wire from the remaining large relay terminal to the positive input wire on the fan. The wire to the relay coil, or trigger can be #16 or even #18 wire and will be fine. Depending on the fan size, the wires to the large terminals, and to the fan will need to be #14, or even #12 to carry the load, if you've got some #10 that would be fine as well, bigger is better up to a point here!

Not sure what the rating is but if you have a two speed whole house fan this will work. You might have to play around with getting the wiring right as mine had no diagram. Replaced old toggle/chain switch.

Fuse does not have size, it is a glass fuse and the amperage should be approximately 1 amp. You can get a spare by taking to an auto supply store to get correct size, I am an electrical engineer, so the power calculation indicates a 1 amp fuse. Do not use this device on any heat loads.

Call Air Vent, the distributor of the switch, at 1-800-AIR-VENT (247-8368). They should be able to answer your question. The amazon.com ad says it's for whole house fans, like the attic fan I run with it. That attic fan also has a separate starting capacitor. In almost a year of use, I have had no problems with the switch.

I used 18 ga wire and it's still 10x the size of the wire attached to the lights. With the minimum amp and voltage draw I did not use a relay. I simply wired directly to a 20 amp rocker switch.

If you have a heater in your existing fan, you probably will not need more wiring. If not, you probably will. A fan will be ok on a 15 amp circuit, but you should have a 20 amp circuit for the heater.
