Do you have an example of how a battery kill switch (such as a blue sea 3001) with an alternator field disconnect function would be wired in to make sure the alternator does not produce power if the house battery system has been switched off?
Typically the charging output from the alternator should be 4/0 with the Nations 280 amp 12-volt kit. If it's short enough you can use 2/0. I would recommend checking out our blog post that has an example wiring diagram as well. www.vanlifeoutfitters.com/example-power-system-victron-energy-batteries-with-nations-alternator-and-wakespeed-regulator/
Perfect timing! Just bought your bundled package and I'm starting the Nations,/wakespeed system. Thanks.
I wonder about this brand new designed harness when the first thing you do is cut off a couple terminals that are not used.

Sorry we don't but the Blue Sea manual for that switch is very detailed on how to wire it up.
