Hooking up an Orion TR Smart 12/12-30 non-isolated in a Ford Transit.
Want to connect to the 175 amp CCP2 and run 2 awg wire to the Orion. Will the Orion take a 2 awg size wire?
Can the negative from the Orion connect to the negative bus bar on a Lynx distributor? Or does it need to connect to the negative grounding point back at the van battery?
Neg can go to either place, but they need a common ground, so there must be a connection from the lynx neg to vehicle earth.
The largest wire the Orion terminals will accommodate is 6 AWG per the manual. I was not able to get ferrules on 6 AWG to fit in the terminals, which is fine since I think you get more wire in contact with the terminals without the ferrules. I'm not sure what advantage you'd have by running 2AWG to the Orion, but if you have a long run to make and need the size you could use a terminal stud and run a very short piece of 6 AWG from there to the Orion.
