Expanding AC distribution panel
I'm looking at options for expanding the AC dist. on a Parallax 6300 dist. panel.
Forum Discussion
Received the Progressive Dymanics AC/DC Distribution panel and was able to f install the AC breakers after some struggle with the romex.
However the DC Distribution panel is proving to be more difficult to install as I'm left with a bunch of unidentified DC wiring some of which has continuity to the main ground wire.
I have approx. a dozen wires some of which are the same color, green, blue, yellow, black, orange and red.
A large ga. red which is POS+ for the battery and a large ga. white which is NEG- ground.
Some of the dozen smaller ga wires the same color, one of the wires has continuity to ground. However all of the smaller gauge wires were originally connected to the fuses. Which doesn't make sense as fused wires shouldn't have ground continuity.
Parallax 6300/6700 DC distrubtion: all of the smaller ga wires (some doubled up) connected to the fuse terminals shown in the pic below.
The Progressive Dymanics DC dist. is a little different as it doesn't have the two 30 amp fuses and the fuses connections are on the back of the panel
I do have some electrical schematics however I'm uncertain of fuses sizes and which wires connect to what.
I'm still testing trying to find the `12 volt wire for the frig.
I'm still trying to figure out why some of the same colored wires connected to the fuses (12volt hot) have continuity to the main ground (white) wire?
Schematics (uncertain if accurate)
15 amps 14 ga lights yellow
15 amps 14 ga lights green
15 amps 14 ga lights / range hood black
15 amps 14 ga furnance blue
15 amps 12 ga red
