I am using 1.5"x1/4" copper flat bar for a portion of the system. This portion of the system will supply about 600 amps to a winch. There are 2 BP220 that will share the load. The picture below is obviously of one but the flat bar will run across both of them in this direction. The right side is 2 inch FB but is just there for illustration. In practice it will be 1.5" The gap is almost 3/16".
This is not a short circuit risk as both bars are positive. My concern, based on ignorance, was if I was to get a short downstream while the BP are open, is it possible that 13.5 volts could under any circumstances jump that gap? I can easily install an insulator between them, just wondering if that is necessary.
