I have noob questions for you or anyone on the forum that wants to advise. I am comparing "Hawsons Master Electrical Diagram" to my setup and am wondering if I have it right. The wires from my solar charge controller go to my "most" positive post on my 12 volt battery bank and the other goes to the trailer frame ground.
Your positive appears to go through a circuit breaker, then a fuse, then a disconnect switch, then to a power splitter (or distribution bar - not sure what it's called) and finally to the positive posts on the batteries.
First question: Am I safe just going straight from the charge controller to the positive post without any circuit breakers or fuses?
Second question: Your negative from the charge controller goes to the load post on the shunt and mine goes to the trailer frame ground. Am I messing up my readings on my BVM 712 Battery Monitor by going to the ground instead of the shunt?
I have zero electrical training or knowledge and am struggling up a steep learning curve with our new 310GK & factory Jaboni solar charging system.
Thank you in advance for your patience & advice,
Mark
