Have I missed anything?!?!?! Will this end in flames?!??!?!

Postby JD01 » Mon Jun 07, 2021 4:48 pm

Hi folks,

Hoping to get some eyes over my wiring diagram. It's a 2015 Transit minbus (https://www.instagram.com/minibus_camper_build/) and i'm about to start running some cables. Electrics are new to me and i've spent a fair while trying to learn over the past few months. I would really appreciate it if someone with more knowledge than me could take a quick look at the diagram.

The plan is to have a 220ah AGM battery under the passenger seat (the starter batteries are under the drivers seat) with the plan to run cables to the rear wheel arch where the electrical cupboard will be.

Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Looks reasonable at first glance ... But... Doesn't matter how fancy you draw your diagram and spec the right cable it's the joints you make and the edges you go past that it'll end it in flames

Airthies Is right, always use a professional crimping tool to make the cable joints.
I would add, monitor system temperatures with a laser-style infrared thermometer to find out hot spots and find solutions.
