| Subject: | Adding a Fuse Block |
Hi Bob
I have been flying my RV6A for nearly ten years using your Z-11 wiring system..
This system has worked extremely well. I am currentlyin the process of adding
a second radio and audio panel, but have run out of useable tabs on my main
& endurance busses. I have a four fuse fuse block that I would like to add to
the main buss. If I mount the extra fuse block within six inches of the main
bus, can I power it from the main bus power terminal via an unfused #16 wire?
The alternative would be to free up a tab on the main bus, run a fused wire
from the tab and then move that consumer to the new fuse block.
Appreciate you advice.
Thanks,
John

Yes, that is what I would do. Just make absolutely sure that #16 wire has no chance
of shorting out.
Support it well near the terminations and double insulate it if it will help.

Why not use the same size wire that feeds the main bus? 16 ga significantly
limits the total carrying capacity of the added bus, and could bite you or
future maintainers if a couple of high load devices get added to the new b
