REFLECTOR: Electrical system - basic components

[Lawrence Epstein]

If you are using the VP unit, I don't believe you need a "bus bar" or
similar, as everything will have it's power lead going to the VP.

Take a look at the VP website. They have a whole section on planning your
electrical system, complete with sample circuit diagrams.

Also, EAA website has a good overview (PDF) which you should read.
