Brake Magnet Wire Color
This is a question relating to the 'power' delivered by electric brake magnet.
There is a lack of information on the internet or elsewhere about the strength of brake magnets. After discussions with the technical experts at RV /trailer parts suppliers I have had responses that range from 'they're the same ' ' they're different', ' manufacturers use what wire is on hand', etc.
My question relates to my Jayco 5th wheel(GVWR 11,300 lbs.) which uses 5.2K axles and the magnet has white wires. I wish to improve braking on the unit by upgrading to 7K assemblies some of which use a white wire magnet while others use black wire magnets.
Can anyone share any experience you may have had with this or lead me to a credible source of information as to the relative strength of brake magnets by color of the electrical leads to the unit.
I have tried looking at / for government sources but have come up empty.
thanks
