Using solar controller load terminals
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2016 6:29 pm
Hi - more electrical Qs I'm afraid!
So my nice shiny new Waeco compressor fridge wasn't running at all well off my rear ciggie lighter, as folks have observed previously. I've now wired it up to the load terminal of my solar controller (mainly because it's easier than doing a cable run to the LB) and it runs flawlessly.
I've got a fuse close to +ve on the LB from the solar controller, but do I now need another fuse between the +ve LOAD terminal of my solar controller and my fridge?
Thanks in anticipation...
