Hi Everybody.

I’m building an RV8 with a rear battery location.

Can I please have some advice on the earthing structure . Can I just earth the battery to the structure in the rear , then take it the common earth at the panel ? Or is it worth running some asw2 cable to earth the panel , or the engine ??

I will have some rear avionics equipment , should I run the earth from the panel to these ? Or just tap of the structure locally ?

I’m not sure when I start running into earth loop issues ??

Many thanks.

Neil.

What kind of avionics? Anything with audio or digital
signal leads?

Follow the wiring diagrams in the installation
manuals.

Remotely mounted black-boxes have been
around for a VERY LONG TIME . . . WWII radios
were almost always remotely mounted . . . that
vacuum tube stuff just wouldn't fit into an
already tight cockpit.

Signal and power management for such installations
were well understood and accounted for in the
installation instructions.

Having said that, it is not difficult to design
such systems to be goof-proof . . . difficult
to even deliberately cause a noise issue.

The vast majority of noise problems I've encountered
in light aircraft were in the audio system with
improper management of grounds to microphones and
headset jacks.

To OP: I have an RV10 with a 2 rear batteries, a ground bus on firewall and a braided flat wire from crankcase to firewall ground stud. No problems (7 years flying)

In addition I have a variety of boxes installed in rear including Navworx ADSB, strobe unit, Magnetometers (sic), and ELT.  I followed the installation instructions as Bob suggested.  No problems.
