[quote]Last night I was thinking about shunt locations and it seems like there are 3 different electrical locations for it.
1) Connected in the B-Lead (to measure the output of the ALT).
2) Connected to the battery (to measure the load on the battery; but it misses the contributions of electrons coming from the ALT to the main buss.)
Location 3 seems to be the most logical spot for me.
3) Immediately before the main buss. So the ALT and Battery can be sending electrons to the buss and I'll be measuring them before they enter the buss as they're consumed. Then I'm getting a measurement of true load (minus the start).
Where have most of you installed yours? I really like option 3 but want to make sure I'm not missing something. I'm also curious to know where yours is installed? I'm thinking of putting it on the aft side of the sub panel, so I can yank a G3X screen and access it.
Thanks,
Phil
