Default New NX nitrous solenoid question (amp draw)

What is the amp draw of the NEW NX nitrous solenoids?

also if it isn't already.... are there any nitrous solenoids that are extremely low current? (1-3 amps)


Thanks in advance

amp draw remains the same as the old ones....
And there are some noids out there that draw no amps. They are air controlled not electric. '

I know some of the small ones are 7 or 8 amps.

The NOS Super Big Shot has a rating of 30amps.

Ohms law works for calculating curent draw.

Battery Voltage / Coil Resistance = Amp Draw

13.8 volts / .4 ohms = 34.5 amps as an example.

Also the temp of the solenoid can affect the resistance/amp draw. Use a Volt-Ohm Meter to determine the resistance and measure your running battery voltage.

It can't be drawing that much current. I was running 2 big tnt solinoids off a single 40amp relay and 30 amp fuse and never poped the fuse. I also ran a nx wet shot with a 25 amp fuse for 2 solinoids and never poped that either. My guess would be around 10 amps per solinoid.
