TheDucks Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 A Vid? This is simple. (The safe mounting of PSU's is the tricky part) how many Plus terminals does your new 50A PS have (I will assume the same for Minus)? A Pixie16 does not have a BUS fuse, so I would recommend you use an 30A Inline Automotive fuse for EACH bus. https://smile.amazon.com/HUIQIAODS-Holder-Wiring-Harness-Standard/dp/B07JPYHZS8/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1IO5Z8BKJMVQ0&keywords=30amp+inline+fuse&qid=1579364505&s=automotive&sprefix=30A%2Caps%2C201&sr=1-7 Does not include fuses. Most Automotive stores will have something similar. IMHO don't use the smaller fuse size version, you will get more voltage drop. You just put 1 of these inline from the Plus of the PSU to the Plus of a Bank. Minus is un fused, so just use #12 or 10 wire. Use Lugs if screw terminals (some Pixie8's have clamping terminals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
