I'm taking on my D/C system this spring and while creating a schematic some questions come to mind. One being - where should the ACR be attached into the system to best protect it, the batteries, and other equipment like the charger should a short happen? Seems like if I attach it downstream of the battery fuses that a short could fail multiple fuses or equipment if the ACR is energized. But I don't know how these ACR's react and if that could even happen. Any thoughts? Attached file - Figure 1 shows ACR downstream of fuses. Figure 2 is upstream.

What's an ACR? (Dumb question, but it's early in the morning here and I haven't had coffee yet.)
