DarrenHoward Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi all I have a 24V FFR, with the generator and shunt box on the bulkhead and an additional box in the rear tub with red and black screw down connectors. I want to wire up some USB charging sockets. My question is, can I connect up directly (via a fuse) to the rear tub box. Thanks in advance.

ruxy Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Always best to state the military VRM (registration for road) / vehicle age. You may have a later 90A genny (transistorized) set-up. This affects position of genny panel & shunt etc. The RED and BLACK screw own connections (knurl plastic knobs) are your Radio Station connection terminals - therefore at 24 volt. I assume you are after a smooth 12 volt connection NOT 24 volt , in that case the drain will be light - I would just connect with a in-line fuse to one of the starting batteries. Often , most often - these RED and BLACK knobs are missing important thingies , a guard / retaining plate for the terminals - if you have just a couple of threaded studs protruding from the box , then best to guard or you may end up welding !
