Brief Description: Starter Contactor connector test
|
|
Well, if I am going to power my CB buses from the hot side of the starter contactor, then I will need to put a lot of wire connectors/terminals on that post...so I should test to see how much room I have on the starter post.
If I power the 4 rows of CB's from there, the wire run distance and the CB rating is such that I can use a #10AWG wire for each row, or 8AWG for 2 rows. I will also have two alternator B-lead wires coming in as well as the battery contactor wire...so that's 7 (or 5) connectors. The nut currently on the post is a thick one, so that won't work, but if I switch to the thin post nut (or use the 5 connectors), I should have the proper thread exposure on the outside of the nut, and it should work.
I will need to run the fuse panel power from the battery contactor, which is fine, and the battery bus comes from there anyway.
