I am not sure what you are talking about...
What ignition an loop?
You usually can switch more than one relay in parallel if the nominal output
current of the signal wire is not exceeded. Otherwise you must amplify it either by
electronics (transistor) or by cascading the relays (use one relay on the output with contacts than can handle the currens of the coils of the relays connected to it)
Using diodes for what? to prevent reverse currents on the coils when switching off to protect electronic outputs?

My question is this - I have one wire coming from the BMS that shuts off an alternator if it senses the voltage is too high. So my thought was to set this up with two relays - one for each ignition and have it loop around.
I've put a number of relays on the boat but unsure if this is the correct... or best way to do this. Unsure if I should have a diode as well or not. Any help wold be greatly appreciated! _steve
