When wiring the system please make sure that the cross-section of the connection between the batteries and the DC distribution point equals the sum of the required cross-sections of the connections between the distribution point and the DC equipment
We also have a product range that can be used as a bus-bar. This is the Lynx range. The lynx consists out of 3 products that can be connected to each other to form a bus-bar. It is rated up to 1000A.
• Lynx Power in - to connect batteries • Lynx shunt - This unit houses the main fuse, the shunt and battery monitor electronics. (CCGX needed to read out the battery monitor) • Lynx distributor – to connect the DC loads and their fuses and indication light per fuse.

4.3 Cable connections There are several ways to connect cables to batteries or to Victron products. Connections are made is a variety of ways:
Nuts and bolts • These usually come in M5, M6, M8 or M10. • To fit a cable onto a bolt, the cable needs to have an eye cable lug. • The cable lug needs to match the cable thickness.
• A special crimping tool is needed to attach a cable lug onto a cable. • If the cable lug does not have insulation you will need to add this. • When connting the cable eye to the bolt, place a washer and spring ring and then the nut. • Use insulated tools when tightening the nut. An acidental battery short curcuit can be very dangerous and the currents can melt your unisualetd spanner, or the spark can cause a battery explosion.
