Bob,
I was putting together my contactors, current limiters, and shunts via Z-12. My question comes in with the current limiter near the starter contactor. I m using an auto conversion, and using an automotive starter with a solenoid on the starter. Mounting the CL near the starter does not really work out for me. The note in the aeroelectric bible says "Consider installing the breaker (or fuse) as close as possible to the starter contactor" Can you elaborate? Is it an alternator noise issue? Is it going to cause me grief in the future? The CL will be on the firewall, and the starter and soleoid will be right up near the prop about 24 inches away. Is that going to cause me issues, other that running big wire up there?
Just wanting to fully understand.

Then feed the alternator to the down-stream side of the battery
contactor and mount the limiter there . . .

No, it protects the altenrator b-lead which can tie into the system
at either the starter contactor or the battery contactor . . .

No big deal. Use the alternate location.
