Can some one inform me as to how much power a typical 12 volt ignition coil draws? Posted by RichardWallach 06/10/2013 01:53:09

About 2 amps according to an ancient book on car electrics, this seems to be confirmed by the the deflection of the ammeter when you switch on. Posted by Peter Martin 07/10/2013 08:13:59

Thanks, Peter.  Based on your figure that is around 24 watts of power. We tend to forget this when looking at the loads that we place on our generators. Posted by RichardWallach 07/10/2013 10:23:10
