Paul,
I am with Nigel and Jos on this one. The circuit proposed by Europa (in my
analysis) falls in the category of "crude but effective". I can't recall if
the circuit shows a CB or not, but I have a pull able circuit breaker on the
panel in case I do need to shut all fuel pumps down.
I have tested this out by disconnecting / disabling the battery/main
contactor just to prove to myself that the pump will continue to run.
I did get a real world test when I was hit by lightning, my Kilovolt main
contactor was destroyed and for a while the only power to the pump that was
being supplied was via the direct connection of the alternator to regulator.
I heaved a big sign of relief when I turned on the secondary Ebuss and it
actually worked, actually I heaved a big sigh of relief for a lot of
reasons.
Paul
