Ok guys thanks for all the information, I tried making sens of everything, I hope the corrections I did on the drawing covers everything, if not please don't hesitate to let me know.
I still have some questions about :
-overall wire gauge?
-fuse holders vs breakers?
I added three other AC and DC distribution drawings (after the AC/DC panel) they're also work in progress, please don't hesitate to comment on them as well.
you can click on the pictures to go directly in my photo bucket and zoom in if you want to.
I managed to get my hands on my battery monitor (Xantrex XBM) so that's another story but you can take a look on my photo bucket I have pictures of evrything.
I also would like to get your opinion on this issue, I had a hard time finding some genuine good 12V DC wiring, 100% stranded copper (not aluminum) + real AWG (not the smaller made in China kind) and all I could find was speaker wiring and I couldn't find the specs for wire temp...
So my brother got his hands on the real stuff where he works, and he got it all for free!! all the 18AWG and 14AWG I needed for the DC distribution circuits, I was really happy since I'm on a tight budget and all.
BUT!! the only issue is the wire colors, he could only get RED and WHITE... So I got the equal length in both colors...
Is this going to be a problem? I normally see black and white or black and red.
I still didn't get the bigger gauge wiring for all the components around the batteries, what color should I get?
Again thanks!
