Don,
I think he is planning on using the black terminals on the distro block for the negative returns from the high current Victors per the updated electrical drawing and Tips and Guidelines. This is the preferred method for the high current returns.
As Mike and Gene have pointed out, once the jumper is in place, terminals on both sides of the block may be used for these connections.
Has anybody been able to find any data on max current spec for the jumper? I have searched a few manufacturers and have found no spec for this critical part.
