Re: Designing an Emergency Electrical Circuit
ahoogakev, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS IN THE WRONG WAY.........
Would it not be better/safer to replace the old frayed, brittle wires with new wires?
Install a battery shut off switch to kill the power. Remember the "Fire Triangle" you need
Oxygen-Heat-Fuel, you can eliminate the Heat by disconnecting the Battery, new Wiring would help eliminate the fuel and the Oxygen well that can be done as the fire is burning with an extinguisher but leaves a horrible mess. I have a battery cut off switch and a fuse block on my car, I shut down my battery and fuel supply when ever I leave my car. Overkill.... YES But I feel much better doing that. Can a short still occur? Sure, but I will be at/in the car and hopefully be able to prevent my car turning into toast.
Keep your fire extinguisher in a place that is fast and easy to get to, most fires are in the engine compartment and can turn into a roaring blaze in seconds, be careful.
As I said "replace the wiring" you will sleep better.
