draw?
John, I don't know the current draw, but I
would strongly suggest that you replace fuses in critical circuits like
ignition with quality circuit breakers. Fuses are OK and have their
place and I used them in my aircraft but, in my opinion they do NOT
belong in a critical circuit. I have never reset a fuse, but I have
reset circuit breakers that popped due to a temporary overload and got the
system back in operation. FWIW

I gotta go with Ed's recommendation.
Definately a circuit breaker. Paul Conner

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?
