Where did you hear that? Race car emergency disconnects are required to be installed in the non-ground side.

Not correct. They can be installed in either the hot or the ground circuit. They must disable the fuel pump, the ignition system, and charging system if so equipped and must kill a running engine......

I agree with the logic in this video, but lack confidence in a guy who says to never place tools where they can short between the two battery terminals, yet at 0.46 uses his caliper dangerously close...

OK, some race rules require the kill switch be installed in the positive cable (of a negative ground car)... And, although the rules may only state that the kill switch must stop the engine (and thus...

Would it not make sense to install the switch on the ground cable, either positive or negative depending on your car? Switched off, the battery is then isolated from the frame.

Eric, not lookin' to get into a spittin' contest on this, and welcome the dialogue, but it is possible to make a case for installing a cutoff switch in either the hot or ground circuit. Clearly the...

I installed mine on the negative side of a negative ground system for the simple reason of not introducing more voltage loss connections to the solenoid and starter circuit. I figured it was also...

Hmm, Bob, Whether you put the Isolator switch in the Live or Ground connection to the battery, it is still in the Starter circuit. thereby introducing more ( possibly ) voltage loss connections to the...

The headline for this video is a bit misleading. One version of this advice is: 1) Because battery terminals are of different sizes, do not install a disconnect switch designed for the negative...

That's why you always disconnect the battery ground terminal first, and reconnect it last, so touching your wrench to chassis or body ground doesn't do anything bad. If you install the switch in the...

As Dick has stated & I agree - I am not aware of any vintage race organization that requires the kill switch to be in the 'hot' side (positive cable of negative ground car). None that I've raced...

And if you put the switch in the hot cable, in the event of fire the hot cable can just as well melt the insulation and short to ground, creating a dead short across the battery (very bad). Ideally I...
