Good morning!
New to the forum and thought I could glean some knowledge from more experienced folks regarding 3 prong dc toggle switches.
I've whet my appetite re batteries, dc wiring and simple solar setups by recently undertaking a battery box build with a solar charge controller and some peripheral dc outlets (usb charger, cigarette lighters, led lighting, etc.).
I was planning to put a 3 prong toggle switch both between the battery and solar charge controller AND between the solar charge controller and the power posts where I plan to connect a simple 25w solar panel.
For the switch between the battery and the scc, would the in prong go to the battery or to the scc (or does it matter)? For the switch negative, I was planning to split the connection to the battery so the switch negative could just feed back that way. Also, if planning to put an in-line fuse in there, would it go on the in or the out (accessory) line?
For the switch between the power post (for solar hook up) and the scc, I ask the same questions as above just substitute the switch negative going to a split connection on the negative conductor between the negative scc and solar in line.
Thanks in advance for the help! Clearly a new member here with little to no experience. I tried searching the previous threads but didn't find anything but who knows, I may have been wrong there too so I apologize in advance.
