ANL 60
Hi
I am just at the stage of connecting the main alt wire. I am a bit confused as to the purpose of the anl60 in the system is it to protect wire going from the alt to the firewall or the wire from the firewall to the power buss in the cockpit as it seems when connected like a lot of the ones on this site that there is still a direct route for the power direct to the battery battery and if the wire from the master relay to the power buss shorts out the full current of the battery would flow with no circuit protection. Any info would be greatly appreciated..

Thats why I installed two. No way I was running that fat unprotected wire inside my cockpit without some sort of overcurrent protection on it...
I have seen contactors weld shut on a hard fault and that could happen with the master!
Also at least install fusible links on them shunt wires for the ammeter!!!

Is that a Skytronics wiring harness I see in that one picture?

Confused
I am still a little confused with the placment of the anl fuses as the one in the alt wire on the firewall seems to be at the wrong end of the cable if the wire from the alt to the fire wall shorts it will be before the fuse and therefore the fuse will not blow shouldnt circuit protection always be at the source of power is this correct or am i really confused

The huge current source on that wire is the battery not the alternator. Your b lead from the alternator should be sized for the max current that the alternator can produce. That is why the fuse is on the battery end.

anl60
I guess you are referring to a 60 amp current limiter.
B and C Speciality products carries these.
