Wiring diameters

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what the operating current of a relais is?
I need to determine what diameter wiring i need to run from my switches to the relais.
I don't think it is a very high current but, i rather ask you guys then installing the wrong size wiring.

0.75mm will be plenty for operating the coil on a relay, it will carry about 9 amps, which is well above what any general use automotive relay is going to draw Smile 2014 D4 XS

Correct - an automotive relay coil current draw will be in the order of 50-200 milliamps. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Cheers guys,

That's good news, that means i can run a multy core cable without having a big OD.
