Re: Electrical Wiring Losses
Chief Delphi is so great... in the time it took me to look up the rule (and talk to a few students and such), two other people posted the same point.
In any case, R50 states (in part):
All circuit breaker distribution panels must be connected directly to the power
distribution block. No intermediate connections are permitted.
As to the engineering question at the root of your question, really what we would need to know is how much current was being drawn at each point. If all your drive motors were on the first maxi-block and everything else was low current, then the amount of power lost would be minimal and worrying about the "resistance is futile". But it really is against the rules, so this was mostly a cheap excuse to make a borg quote.
