    Default Current draw of trim sensor and low fuel sensor

    I'm just trying to plan out some electrical and wondering if anyone knows the current draw on the trim position sensor and the low fuel sensor that you can get from kitfox directly.

    Not sure of the actual draw but I have a 7.5A breaker for the trim

    I believe those two sensors only draw milliamps.

    That's my assumption as well.

    That is correct, these sensors are negligible as far as their current draw. The current for sensors connected to the GEA-24 is included in the current of the unit. In table 2-2 of the G3X Installation Manual it says a 12 volt GEA-24 has 0.43 Amps max with typical sensor loading.
