As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator increases, the correct AWG
wire size also increases. If he wire size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop
occurs. The voltage drop decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
1. Norcold recommends that you use the following wire and fuse sizes:
- Measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator:
- If the distance is less than 12 feet, use 16 AWG wire and a 10 Amp fuse.
- If the distance is between 12 and 20 feet, use 14 AWG wire and a 10 Amp fuse.
- If the distance is more than 20 feet, use 12 AWG wire and a 10 Amp fuse.
