Coil Resistance of Dexter Axle 7" Brake Assembly Kit

Question:

What is the coil resistance of the magnet coil for a Part Number 23-47-48 7inch brake assembly? I have them on order and want to make sure of the wire size needed to carry the current needed by the each of the two magnet coils that I will be using. Thanks

I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle and she said that the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-47-48 have a coil resistance of 3.9 ohms per magnet. When it comes to wire size we recommend at least 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) for brake assemblies.
