Your plan to use 2AWG for long runs and 4AWG for short runs sounds good.

| Subject: | Z101 in an RV-10 |
Good evening all,
I'm working away on an electrical architecture for my RV-10 based on Z-101B. I
haven't started to install the system yet but I have a question about how I will...
In the RV-10, the battery and battery contactor are located in the tailcone. Looking
at the schematic, I will need to run a large conductor (probably 2AWG) forward
from the contactor to the starter. My concern is that the "fat wire tie
point" for the battery bus, aux bus, and engine bus will need a second large
conductor run forward (my aux and engine busses have decent loads due to IFR and
EFII equipment). This seems like it will add considerable weight...
The only solution I can imagine would be to leave the battery in the tail and move
the battery contactor forward to the firewall. This would leave a long length
of unprotected wire but I would have that anyways with the second contactor
coming forward to the tie point...
This might become more clear as I start to actually run wires but for now it seems
less than ideal. Thoughts?
Andrew

Andrew,
Why don't you mount the start solenoid on the firewall and run a #2 from th
e master solenoid in tail cone forward to start solenoid on firewall.
Then use the battery side of the start solenoid as the main terminus for th
e other loads.=C2- It sounds like you have several sub-systems to feed so
you may want to use an additional stud terminal mounted near the start sol
enoid, with a jumper to the battery side of the start solenoid, to handle t
he quantity of wires.
Are you in Canada?
-Jeff

Hey Jeff, I am in Canada. That is my plan for the loads downstream of the battery
contactor. But the Z-101 schematic also has several loads connected to the
battery side of the battery contactor (hot battery bus and alternate feeds for
the aux and engine busses). It's these loads that I'm trying to prevent running
a second 2AWG cable for.
