Hi there!
I'm rearranging the
electrical connections going into my house
battery, partly to tidy them up and partly to help me identify/fix potential issues (mainly wire sizes and missing fuses). Since the PO left me a couple MRBF surface mount blocks (
https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=4420329) and a bunch of mrbf
fuses, I'd rather use them instead of inline
fuses if possible.
In this case I'm using one block between my main
battery switch and a couple busbars, and I'm doing that because the battery post has a 200A MRBF fuse but my busbars are rated for 150A (which is enough for my accessories), so the fuses in the mrbf block will protect my busbars (and the smaller wires that connect them to the fuse block itself). From the busbars all the positive wires are also fused.
The attached
photo shows how everything is wired. One small issue that I've already identified is the fact that my fuses are in series so in case of a short it won't be immediately clear on which exact wire it happened, but I think that's something I can live with. I also considered connecting the 3 upper posts on the block (making it the same as the common source fuse block from BlueSea, but that'd require me to use 200A rated wires on the jumpers and it'd be hard to fit them there). Can anybody se any other issues with this setup? Or any ways to simplify it
Thanks in advance
