All good advice, thanks!
Looks like I'll wait on the shunt, but use a bolt to bond the cables at the point where a shut will be- once I find one ;)
I just ordered 20ft of 4/0 cable. I have to work out the length of cables and ends I need and will get them installed and made up while I'm there.
Looks like I should get some copper bus bars, too?
According to this table, a 1/4" x 1" should handle 400a. I hear 12vdc usually has a bit of derating because of the DC heating, but since 400a is the SURGE rating and the column I checked was the lowest temperature rise, it should be fine, right?
