S/V Ninaa Ootakii - system startup (2x classic 150's @ 24v)

[Stone]

I didn't have it on backwards.
I think the issue was the cables coming in at 90⁰ to the shunt, the proximity of the cable to the WBJ, or the routing of the wire from the WBJ to the classic.

It was originally like the attached photo.

I think this thread has reached its conclusion for the most part, as it seems to work
(Thanks everyone for all the smart answers to dumb questions)

... I'm on to getting phase 2 figured out, so I started a new thread in the system design forum.

That post is here: http://midniteftp.com/forum/index.php?topic=5134.0

OKeee Dokeee Stone !

I saw your new post but have not digested it yet.

[Stone]

It's mostly me overthinking things, lol.
I mean, I could just post it here and keep going, it's sorta up to all'y'all.

not sure what your problem was. i have tons of cables crossing at the whiz bang jr shunt. 3 devices using it to measure current and no problems

[Stone]

I don't know either, but as soon as I change the cables to in one end and out the other, it gave me a much better reading...
I'm going to end up moving the shunt and the bus bars at some point anyway, 'cause I feel like I need a deeper battery bank, and I can't fit any more batteries where they are currently located. :/
