Figure 2: DC Wire Diagram
Each chassis is equipped with 14 GMT style fuse connections and an unfused bulk DC connection
located on the rear of the chassis
.
The GMT fused connections are made on “lugless” terminal blocks
with compression screws.
The bulk DC connection may be used as a battery input or as an unfused bulk output. The connections
require a terminal lug (1/4” single hole lug with a max tongue width of 0.63” or less). Size wires based on
the total rectifier capacity and choose conductor size according to
