Hello i need some help making a few connections
Will be hooking up a house battery with alternator charging to start only , solar will be added later .
Using a Projecta IDC25 http://www.projecta.com.au/site/Def.../PowerManagement/IDC25_Instruction_Manual.pdf
Couple questions
1 The Projecta IDC25 has 8mm wire , which is about 8 awg.....whats best way to extend connect to another wire that might be 1 or 4 awg ? or could i use 8 awg for about a 4 foot length?
Im putting the house battery right behind the drivers seat.
2 On grounding .....Of course ground starter and house battery and Projecta IDC25 , but in instructions it says to connect house ground to Projecta IDC25 ground(black wire) , is this needed ?
3 On fuses/breakers ...i will fuse/breaker on positive wires close to starter and house battery , Projecta IDC25 instructions call for 50 amp fuse at these locations , would say 80 or 100 amp be better?
maximum input current on the Projecta IDC25 is 40 amps .
Any help would be awesome on wire sizes or fuses
