Wot-Nots 1 Core Cable – Black – 2.5m – 27A (PWN692)

Description

Genuine Wot-Nots · Part no. PWN692

Wot-Nots PWN692 is a 2.5m mini reel of black single-core cable for 12V automotive circuits carrying up to 27A, the heaviest rating in this Wot-Nots range. It suits a short, heavier feed, such as a relay-switched supply to a pair of extra lamps or an earth lead, where a thin wire would run warm.

Good to know

• Is 27A enough for what I'm wiring? Add up the watts: to estimate the current, divide the total wattage of what the cable feeds by the voltage: on a 12V car, watts divided by 12 gives amps. Then pick a cable rated comfortably above that figure, as the maker advises.
• Where does the fuse go? Fit the fuse as close to the battery or power source as practical, so the whole length of the new cable is protected, and size the fuse to protect this cable, not just the load.
• Is 2.5m long enough? It is a short length for under-bonnet or dashboard jobs. For a long run to the rear of the vehicle, voltage drop adds up, so measure the route first and choose a longer or heavier cable if needed.

Which one?

For lighter loads, the Wot-Nots 4m 17A reels (PWN690 black, PWN689 red, PWN691 blue) are thinner; for a long 17 Amp run, Maypole 1 Core Cable – 1 x 28/0.3mm – Black – 50m (3224B) comes on a 50m roll.
