Parts Needed to Run Power Circuit for Installing Curt C51180 Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller
Question:
Power wire and fuse? Is #12 wire and 20 amp fuse sufficient to operate controller 51180
asked by: Rick K
Helpful Expert Reply:
Using 12 ga wire is indeed acceptable for installing the Curt # C51180 Echo wireless brake controller, but to protect the power feed circuit you'll want to use a 30A self resetting circuit breaker instead of a fuse. We sell the wire, hardware and breaker in a kit, as part # BRK-ELECKIT. If you already have the wire and hardware, we sell the breaker separately as part # 38630.
