The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Advice on heater wiring and voltage reduction

Hi guys

I bought a refurbished 6v heater for use on my 12v system.

As expected on 12v the switch heats up but the fan works. I bought a voltage reducer 4R1%EMPI INC #9384. But when I add that in the line nothing works. Is this thevwrong choice in voltage reducer?



I just tried connecting the motor directly to the battery. Works fine but stops as I connect the voltage reducer inline. I wonder if the reducer has enough current ? Or if the motor has been changed to 12v?


Also where do you guys mount yours?

Cheers
