I am approaching one of the last electrical task on my

RV-7A. I installed a 12 volt outlet on the panel but I

would like to verify the wiring and fuse selection for

this device. The outlet came with no instructions. It

did include 3 fast-on terminals which 2 are blue and

one red. That would suggest that one of the connecting

wires would be smaller than the other 2? There are 2

tabs in the outlet that are brass in color and one tab

that is silver. Any help here would be much

appreciated. Thanks John.

 John:

  

 Not Enough Good Information (N.E.G.I.)

  

 I'm guessing ... The "outlet" is a cigarette lighter jack???

 Since you have three wires:

 One is for an internal light.  

 One is B+ 

 One is GND

  

 The center is B+

 The case is GND

 And you will have to play with it.  To find what the third one is.  Again ... Guessing it is a light.

  

 The fuse goes on the B+

 I would use a 10 Amp Fuse / CB MAX.

 Wire size 14 AWG Mil Spec of course.

Thanks Barry....No light involved but I will get the

meter out and play with it to verify the 3 leads. Yes,

it is a cigarette style receptcle that is marked 12V.

Thanks for the help. John
