Bob,  

   

I’m working on redoing my panel in my RV-8. I’m installing a Z-13 system and am working on understanding why things are the way you designed them. I’m looking at the 6 inch limit you put in between the ANL limiter coming off the alternator B terminal and the starter. I found this in the archives:   	  Quote:

My question is why the six inch rule would apply here. Isn’t the ANL protecting the wire going from the alternator to the starter?   

   

Thanks much,

Yes. And the power source it's being protected  from is the battery. Hence the ANL is close to the starter contactor, which is  where the battery supply is coming from.

Thanks Bob (although a different one than I expected… -)) It makes sense now…
