Wiring Pollak 40 amp Inline Circuit Breaker
Updated 03/01/2013 | Published 02/27/2013
Question:
Which side copper or silver should I hook up to battery and which side should hook up to 7 slot connector at rear of car? I am using this as auxillary power to trailer. Also, does it matter whether I use 10 gauge or 12 gauge wire? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The wire from the power source, which is the battery in this case, will connect to the copper colored terminal labeled BAT. The run to the 7-way connector will connect to the silver terminal, labeled AUX.
12 gauge wire would be acceptable, but 10 gauge would allow for a greater amperage draw without overheating the wire.
