The peak current draw on the LS1 coils is 9A EACH.   This can happen on startup before the EC2 can compute the proper dwell time.  Average amps is much lower during normal operation.

Subject: [FlyRotary] LS1 Coils - amp draw?

Good evening all,
I think I found out why my engine ran under powered on the last flight. The fuse supplying the leading coils was blown. It was a 15 amp fuse, which I would have thought would be more than adequate. Of course, the fuse is supplying two of the coils, not one. Perhaps that's where I went wrong with the calculation.
 
Can anyone recall what the max draw is per coil?
John Slade
