Re: Kill Switch
Lately I'm seeing a lot of teams use solid state contactors that are used in Hybrid / EV cars for their high voltage switches. With these setups, the main contactor can be located immediately next to the battery and be shut off with a simple toggle switch and low current wires. While this is the safest approach, you really can't leave the battery "on" for more than an hour or two as the contactor is always drawing current to keep itself closed.
Aircraft do this and it works fine. For service you can jumper or some have a little pin slot to hold the contractor closed (in the mechanical style)
Issue is, That's still a live circuit to the switch to actuate the contactor, That's NOT allowed.
