This is a photo of my Victron lynx distribution bar. The is the negative bus bar.
The stud with the red ring terminal around it is not fused. It is for grounding the system.
Given this thing is rated for a lot of amps, how can landing a ground wire [edit] lug on top of that tiny little ring terminal be OK?
It seems to deny good contact with the substantial negative busbar. The Victron manual is very clear that that red ring terminal is supposed to be where it is and you are not to remove it. And there is not enough wire to lift it out of the way.
I could use a fork terminal connector to slide under the red bus bar, but the manual gives no indication that this is the right way to proceed.
I don’t doubt Victron is doing this correctly, I just don’t understand how this can be appropriate.
Any ideas?
