![]() Thus needing larger conductors to handle the increased current.Ī lot of reading, I know, but worth it, Miz Lower voltage requires a larger amperage/current to get the same work as a higher voltage. There is a close relationship between voltage and amperage (current). The 12VDC unit was much smaller.almost exactly half as large, with twice the windings.ġ2 volts-1/2 wire size-twice the windings= same work performed.ĦVolts-double the wire size-half the windings= same work performed. The first thing you noticed when the two starters were side by side on the bench, was the huge gauge windings on the 6VDC starter. The bulbs were changed to 12VDC as was the generator and starter. The 6volt wiring was of Huge gauge and so it handled the 12volt change over well. In 1952, Ford was in the middle of changing over from a 6volt DC electrical system to a newer 12Volt DC system. You might be a little young to have seen this, but: There is no such thing as a "free lunch". Click to expand.It is called the "free lunch" principal.
