The amount of current allowed by the Blue Sea 7700 ML-Series Solenoid 500 Amps 12V depends on the size of the wire used because the wire wicks away the heat from the switch.
| Wire Size | Continuous (UL 1107) | Intermittent (5 min) | Cranking (30 sec) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2/0 AWG | 225A | 400A | 1,000A |
| 4/0 AWG | 300A | 400A | 1,100A |
| 2×4/0 | 500A | 700A | 1,450A |
500A continuous only with dual 4/0 cables.
