Is that your AC or the cooling fan for the radio? LOL

The 817 requires 10.5 volts nominal at 2 amps on TX. Through the controller, the panel voltage is 13.8. It then goes to a voltage buck to reduce the voltage to 10.5-10.6. The controller has a fused limit of 3 amps. Note, there is no battery in the system. The next step is to power the radio with yet another fuse protection.
