I coming into our RV10 build late and was not around for the planning of the electrical panel and ordering of the panel several years ago. Having some electrical experience I took on the final wiring for the project and now that it is complete, I have a concern.
I believe that our wiring plan came from a modified ZR12 ? plan. I've attached how everything is currently wired. My concern is that the way things are now if we were to have a battery contactor failure we would loose all electrical power.
I'm not sure of the resilience of the things, but I'm hesitant to place all faith in a mechanical relay.
Does anyone have any input as to whether this looks correct or not? I can provide more information about the panel if necessary, but it is a G900 panel, Dynon backup etc.
What I'm thinking about doing is running adding another battery contactor with a lead to the essential bus, adding a diode between the essential bus and the main power bus, and then running the backup alternator to the essential bus instead of the main bus.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
