12 V IT feeder check

Design intent: 10 mm² positive and return, 4–5 m one-way. At a nominal 20°C copper resistivity of 0.0175 Ω·mm²/m, loop resistance is approximately 0.014–0.0175 Ω. Use actual STAR12 input current, not total unrelated rear-board loads.

This simple DC calculation omits terminal resistance and temperature correction. Final thermal sizing, voltage tolerance and fuse coordination remain engineering checks. Orion capacity reference: existing 48/12-30, 30 A nominal; verify thermal/installation derating.
