12v HORNS

[martyn]

I have just aquired two pairs of 12v electric trumpet horns for the roof of the R.V. Does anybody know if i should wire them through a relay,or would an in- line fuse be OK. :thanks2:

I would go for a relay and inline fuse. The fuse for overload protection and the relay because you will need a hefty switch to cope with the load of the air compressor.

Hi Martin
The only purpose a relay has is to save having to do the whole circuit in heavy wiring and using a heavy duty switch,
if you want to you can do it without a relay using a suitable fuse as you say

With a relay in the system a lighter cable and switch can be used, needing only a heavier cable for the feed to the relay and the feed to the horns
I am assuming you mean fully electric horns
and not as andyman thought Air powered

Thanks Andyman and Geo. Yes Geo they are fully electric,as you say an inline fuse will do the trick,just wanted to make sure.Don't want any in house fires do we.Thanks again. :thumb:

Make sure your cable and switch are up to it
Good luck
Geo
