Expanding AC distribution panel
I'm looking at options for expanding the AC dist. on a Parallax 6300 dist. panel.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought continuity was not related to pos-neg, just that it was not "open". Anyway, you can have more than one negative connection and more than one positive connection using parallel pos or negs. Maybe that is the situation with your mystery wires. Of course two pos would make a pos fuse on one useless.
Perhaps this is the time to have the power on to check actual on or off instead of no power continuity? You just want to get things to work or not.
If all the negs are too short, you can use the original neg buss and run a single fatter wire to the new neg buss. If the positives are too short, you have to extend them to their individual fuses.
(I had the furnace and fridge mixed up. Well, they both start with f)
I know RV inverters have a "chassis ground" (to the RV frame) on the outside of their metal casings to reduce radio interference. I ASSume the chassis ground on a deck mount converter is for the same reason, don't know.
