Multiple power runs.

[Cahm Rohn 10+ year member]

I plan on running at least 3, 1/0 power and ground runs to the second YT up front and the same to whatever battery I put in the back, my question is do I need to fuse all the power wires on each end and if so what is the best way to do it?

I would try and get a distribution block if you can find one and fuse that one wire from the battery to the distro block. If you are all about safety and etc. you could even fuse those as well individually (little more money and time). No matter what you choose....buy extra fuses. Sometimes you never know... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

uh yea you would fuse all three at each battery. it only takes 1 wire to short out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif best way is inline fuses at each battery

I knew that the wires had to be fused, I just didn't know if they had to be fused individually or if I could fuse them together.

Unless you are running them into a fused distrobution block at both batteries, then you need to have two fuses on each wire.

is this a competition system? why the 3 1/0 runs?

Safety rule: fuse on each side of a battery.

Safety rule: fuse every time you change wire size.

Right now its parked so I figured I would start to build up the electrical. In the future I plan to do some comps after about a couple more VFL's, 5 more cuft and another MT, mabey a hc 2400 or g31.

what org? 'cause they have different rules on batteries, fuses, etc. Sounds like you're on your way!

You need 2 fuses on each wire.

if u wanna be loud fuses are nothing but a voltage drop... the only fuses my honda has are the ones honda put in it

I personally wouldn't if this is for competitions. I think it's a pain in the butt to fuse multiple runs.
