Re: Our Power Distribution
See rule <R55>, which says that the compressor and spikes and controller all take a 20 amp breaker.

Make sure you wire the positive and negative to the correct side of the spike, and program it to drive the spike with the correct polarity.

And just to eliminate confusion, the side of the spike that says "12V" and "NEG" goes to the fuse block, and the side that says "M+" and "M-" goes to the load (compressor).
