Main Breaker Wiring

Are we allowed to use other wire besides the wire provided in the KOP to wire the main breaker to the PD Board? It's the same guage we just want to use it because it is more flexible.

Re: Main Breaker Wiring

As long as it is #6 AWG or larger it doesn't matter what wire you use

[R39]

The 12V battery, the main 120-amp circuit breaker, and the PD Board shall be connected as shown in Figure 4‑8.

Re: Main Breaker Wiring

The only thing I can find is R39, which specifies (in the diagram) 6 gauge wire as a minimum wire size.

Re: Main Breaker Wiring

The same rules apply to the battery leads as well in case you want to change them for your application also.
