Bob,



The primary small gage wiring on the design is 4 AWG. Between the cross feed contactor and the main battery contactor you show a 2 AWG. This is the only place on the design that is using a 2 AWG wire. Why does it need to be 2 AWG? Will 4 AWG work?



Thanks,

Johnathan

    Keep in mind these are architecture drawings. Details as to

    wire sizing, fuse/breaker sizing, etc are variables that need

    attention during the design of YOUR system. The Z-figures

    are not all combed for agreement of the variables. If 4AWG

    was adequate for the fat wires in the rest of your system, then

    2AWG is not necessary to jumper contactors.
