Hi Group,
Working on my electrical schematic for my RV8 with the battery in the rear location. I am planning to mount the battery contactor near the battery. This means that the 2AWG cable will run through the fuselage to the starter contactor on the firewall. Looking at other people's schematics I notice there is no circuit protection being used to prevent burning the cable in case the shielding fails and the cable contacts the fuselage.
I know I could open the battery contactor (if it doesn't burn out) in case this happens, but would a more 'automatic' (fuse) option be wise?
Your thoughts on this?
Kind regards,
Duncan
