I was thinking about my connections between my solenoids today. I thought that I followed the standard convention, but not sure.
I ran a copper bar from the switched or output side of the Master Solenoid to the input of starter solenoid. I now realize that I am passing over 200 Amps through the master solenoid and I don't believe it is rated for that. I am thinking that the starter solenoid should be fed from the battery with the solenoid activation circuit run through the master to prevent inadvertent starting. The only downside is that I cannot break the circuit in case of a short.
How do others do this? Did I do it wrong?
