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 RV6A Sent from my iPhone ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:47:36 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Adding a Fuse Block From: "user9253" > can I power it from the main bus power terminal via an unfused #16 wire? 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. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=485599#485599 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:59:08 PM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Adding a Fuse Block From: Charlie England 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 lock=2E =81=A3Charlie=8B On Nov 23, 2018, 10:05 AM, at 10:05 AM, John Crate wrote: >--> AeroElectric-List message poste d by: John Crate > >Hi Bob > >I have been flying my RV6 A for nearly ten years using your Z-11 wiring >system=2E=2E This system ha s worked extremely well=2E I am currentlyin the >process of adding a secon d radio and audio panel, but have run out of >useable tabs on my main & end urance busses=2E I have a =9Cfour fuse=9D fuse >block that I w ould like to add to the main buss=2E If I mount the extra >fuse block with in six inches of the main bus, can I power it from the >main bus power term inal via an unfused #16 wire?
