We designed the Power Plate to allow simple and easy installation of electrical components - it allows for future growth too. Each unit has 6 individually fused outputs and the entire unit is rated for 30 amps. The Plate is relay controlled (the relay is easily replaced) - it turns all accessories on and off with the ignition. The main power into the relay is fused for additional protection. Installation of a Power Plate helps to keep extra ring terminals off the battery - if you have had this problem, you know the value of having only one ring terminal to connect.
We include a port for connecting a battery charger. The connection to the charger is automatically disconnected if the key is turned on - very important as a battery charger can go up to 17 volts and the bikes electrical system cannot handle this high voltage level (serious damage can occur to sensitive computers, relays or even your charger).
The model we offer is universal to all 12-volt motorcycles - plug it in and go!
All kits include 6 spade connectors, 30 amp ATC main fuse, quick-connector, instructions and a legend decal to be placed near the Plate to indicate fuse function.
You'll need to source your own ATC fuses for each of the 6 individually-fused channels on the fuse block. We don't include fuses because we don't know what fuse size you'll need to protect each of your accessories.
Block has feet on both ends for installation.
Dimensions - 4 5/8"L, 2 3/8"W, 2 1/4"H.
We found this table handy with our own wiring projects; use it as a guide for sizing accessory wire on your motorcycle. When on the border line, always use a lower gauge number (larger wire) than specified in this chart.

Can you provide more details on what I do with the blue wire? For example, you suggest the tail light wiring. If I understand correctly, I would find the positive wire running to/from the tail light, and then I would splice the blue wire into that wire, e.g. by cutting the tail light wire and then putting it back together spliced with the blue wire. Is that correct? Thank you. >ADMIN NOTE: Included in the kit is a Positap connector which will actually tap the wire without cutting.
