Maxxfan power supply question

[kingoftheroad]

Hi
Just took delivery of my new Maxxfan Deluxe (not LED lighting option) and got a couple of questions regards wiring it up please.
1. Can the fan be wired into my 12v lighting circuit?
2. What size inline fuse, 5amp or 10amp
Thanks
Mike

They say 5 amp supply minimum it takes about 4 amps on full speed.
Depends on the size cable you lighting circuit is if it's too small volt drop might be too much fuse should be sized for the cable size.

Need to know what size cable and how long is the run back to the EBL but you could connect the fan to it and see what the volt drop is on full power, it will be fused at the EBL.

Hi Lenny
It will probably be simpler (for my limited knowledge and equipment) to run a couple of cables direct to my leisure battery.
This will be about a 5m run, what size cable and fuse would you recommend fo this set up please, thanks for help
