Most electrical devices that can not be shut off should be on the engine side of
the firewall. And if practical, devices that can be shut off should also be
on the engine side of the firewall. Look at each component of the electrical
system and ask yourself, "If this device starts smoking, would I rather have
it inside of the cockpit or outside, and how will I shut it off?" When something
starts smoking inside of the cockpit, it will be difficult to know what device
it is. Shutting off the master switch should remove power from almost everything
inside of the cockpit.
It would be better to place the following components on the engine side of the
firewall: Battery, Battery Contactor, Main Battery Bus, Essential Bus Relay, Voltage
Regulator, Capacitor, Alternator Relay
