Most docs I can find just show the fuse amperage. Colyn, Every electrical component rated for aircraft use (and most others) have the amperage rating firmly fixed to the unit. This information is also in the owner/user and/or installation manual. As far as I know, there is no consolidated listing. Even equipment of the same make and model change their power requirements over time, so this would be a difficult list to keep completely current. I got my info directly from the equipment I've installed/intend to install. I had to actually measure the current draw for a couple of items (one was the vent fan for the IV-P as I recall) but with some time and effort, I have a pretty good list. Unfortunately, it's virtually useless to others unless you're using identical equipment. Sorry, Bob
