Hi, I've got a question about positive ground PMW charge controllers. I'd like to install an inline fuse and a cut off switch between my 30 amp HQST charge controller and the PV panels (2 100 watt Newpowa compact panels) This charge controller is a positive ground. Normally, if this was a negative ground controller, I think I should put the fuse on the positive cable running from the PV panels and the cutoff on the negative cable, but does the fact the charge controller is a positive ground change either of those placements?
Also, with a positive ground controller, can I still safely put a second cut off switch on the cable between the battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis, in order to kill all the circuits powered by the battery, and an inline fuse on the battery's positive cable that powers my fuse block?
This system is being installed on a vehicle with a chassis ground.
I'm a real newbie with all of this, so i appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!!!
