    How to fuse when wiring in actuators in parallel?

    I am wiring 4 X 12v actuaries in parallel. Each draws a max of 3 amps. The wire size they come with is 20 gauge. If I plan on wiring them in parallel to a (DPDT) rocker switch, I imagine I’d want to use 14 gauge wire to handle 12A to power all four actuators at once. I plan on fusing with a 15...

    Will this distribution panel rated for 12v dc work for 24v dc?

    I am wondering if I can use this for 24v. It says the dc side is rated for 12v. I called and they said "it says 12v" and wouldn't specify any further. Any reason in specific why the DC distribution portion wouldn't work for a 24v? I already have the product and would love to use if possible but...

    Sizing Breaker Between Bus Bar and Battery/BMS

    I am trying to figure out the best way to size a fuse/ breakers for my 24v 280 ah system using a JBD 150 Ah BMS. The inverter I am using is a phocos hybrid inverter charger that is 24v 3000 watts continuous and calls for a minimum 210ah ( 168 continuous * 1.25 =210) breaker between battery and...

    How to attach bms without mounting holes?

    Hi, I am in the process of building an 8s 24v 280ah battery for my campervan build. I plan on building a box for compression and to minimize movement at terminals along with Temco flexible 1 awg welding cable with tinned copper connecters as bus bars (ampacity rated for 240amps). I am not sure...

    Help! I am working on precharging before too balance and one cell keeps triggering high voltage disconnect. I disassembled battery and discharged that cell a bit to get it closer so I could o recharge them a bit before top balancing in parallel with 10 amp charger but it discharged really...
