I was wondering what the electrical gurus think about my plan. Basically I just want to reduce the amps going through the firewall. Will this accomplish that goal safely?
- I have a stock 340 Dart with a new engine harness.
- I plan on keeping the ammeter functional at the moment
- I am going to add a 10 AWG bypass wire from the alternator to the battery per the MAD instructions.
- If I am correct this will reduce the amps running through the bulkhead although I don't know by how much.
- The instructions show the use of 10 AWG wire with a 14 AWG fusible link which is basically a slow blow 15 amp fuse but I was thinking about adding an ATO fuse (15-30 amps?) like the Little Fuse MAX30 instead. Nuisance fuse blows during high charge events would render the bypass useless so I would like to prevent that.
