In my plan, my always hot batter bus is located in the sub panel near to my m-bus and e-bus. This is some 24 inch from the Battery so exceeds the Z-11 6 inch wire length recommendation by some way. My idea to fix this is to put in a current limiter near to the battery so I sent an email to Bob Nuckolls to ask his opinion, Bob has replied;
" If the battery bus is not located next to the battery then legacy conventions call for adding a mini-master relay to disconnect for crash safety"
Is this in place of a current limiter, has anyone else done this and how does a mini-master relay work ? How have other builders solved the problem of the battery bus being a distance from the battery?
