Hello,
I am looking to monitor the energy generation from my B2B system. I was assuming I could do this with a SmartShunt. However, these can only be attached to negative lines.
My van uses a Chassis Ground. The Lynx Distributor grounds the negative busbar to the chassis, and likewise the Ford batteries are grounded to chassis. As a result, on the B2B line I have not placed a Negative line. Since there is no negative line, how do I add a smartshunt?
The best option I've determined is to place the Shunt between the Lynx distributor and chassis. However, this connection is also a safety ground.
Are there better approaches to monitoring the B2B energy flows?
Goals:
1. Accurate energy monitoring of the B2B circuit on Cerbo GX.
2. Not intermixing the B2B with other DC loads.
