Wiring the power distribution
3h
May 3, 2026
I started wiring the power distribution circuits.
These power relay modules will feed the engine bus and avionics buses.
Aptiv crimp terminals for ATC fuses. I put two layers of shrink tubing to make the terminal grab the wire jacket.
To add a second feed location for the engine bus, I created a copper bar with a hole for a AN3 bolt and riveted that bar to the BlueSea ST5029 bar. I added some conductive grease to improve the contact area.
This is what the bus looks like in assembled form.
I also started crimping lugs on the main distribution wires. Initially, I used 2AWG welding cables, but later I switched to 4AWG aviation wires.
