Terminal block at solar controller

[jibstay]

I’m adding a 12v connector for a Rainman water maker. I was planning to take the wires that currently connect my solar controller directly to the battery bank and connect them instead via a terminal block:
Blue Sea Systems 2722 150-Amp DualBus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K2MABA..._tsjhDb47QHT16

Then, connect the 12v connector (via a 12v 50amp circuit breaker) to the same terminal block. The circuit breaker will online be on when I’m running the water maker.

Any concerns with this plan?

Thanks in advance.

I don't see a problem with that.

I do something similar. I run 4 solar panel controllers and the wind generator controller to that same BlueSea bus, and from that bus to the battery.

Electrically speaking...the electrical component doesn't know if it's hooked into that bus, or another bus in the same system.

Could you make up a schematic?

Thanks. I was concerned about mixing the 12v gazinta’s and gazotta’s (technical electrical terms).

What is this “pencil” you speak of? Is it like a stylus?

Seriously, I’m good, thanks. I was pretty confident in my plan, just wanted to double check.

I think you can find them in Aisle 22, right next to the abacus selection.


Yes, it's just a place to land wires.

A stick & sandy beach will work if you don’t have pencil and paper.
