    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Thanks that good to know, I'm only using the Pulse box it self not the solar panel I wired a NOCO Gen5X2 battery Maintainer into the system for storage charging. I was wondering about the stock 60amp , the light bar I've got only has 4 HIDs and the two IRs. I'm planning on putting three...

    That's a hard lesson learned, glad it wasn't worse. I had a good friend that had a shop fire a short time ago, not a pretty thing.

    Interesting, in that scenario you're correct things are going to get sporty real fast.

    OK, I'm listening... I put it in the category of "can't hurt"...... Please elaborate on "grounding loops can be dangerous" M.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Agreed on that, I've run a grounding kit on mine and could pick up at that point on the body. Just cleaner looking than a ton of redundant wires.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Ok found a vender for Mil-spec 10ga wire , I'll make up another harness and pull power off the Pulse box. Thoughts on ground wire, run it all the way back to battery box , or can I get away with a shorter run to one of the grounding points on chassis or engine block? M.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Yeah I'm trying to keep things fairly stock appearing on this build and have been using the correct Mil. Spec Prestolite tinned copper wire. That's my hang up actually I've run my other circuits with 14g and don't have any 10g wire that matches what's in the vehicle, I probably should just...

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    I'd hoped someone had already been down this road and I could piggy back on their info. Worse case I will just over size, it's likely easier than trying to hunt down the information. I appreciate you taking the time respond. M.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Yeah if the founders of the company weren't in prison for defrauding the government. That would be so much easier than reverse engeneering this damn thing. IBIS scammed the Gov. for milions, and got caught. Someone else bought the business and tried to make a go of it under a different...

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Maybe you can clear this up for me as well, the HID shows norm. amp draw of 1.8 Max. of 4.5 amp. Under what conditions would it pull max. and should I be engineering the system for normal, max, or max. plus a margin in respects to wire size? There are four of these HIDs and two IR's Judging...

    Thanks but that chart is 12v and this is a 24v circuit. M.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    I'm guessing it will take 10-12' in total length to get from my pulse box to where I'll be mounting the Light bar. Any guys sharp on their electrical engineering and can tell me what the max amps that 14 gauge wire can pull in a 24v circuit at that length? I've Left a couple spare wires in a...

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to pick up 24v directly off the 60 amp alternator in a M998. If so where? Installing a light bar and would simplify my wiring harness that i need to build if I can get main power from there. I already have a pulse tech distribution box installed I'm just...
