Connecting two Victron distributors

Hi

I want to connect two Victron distributors, but with the connections coming in from both sides. (see the attached picture)

So the top on have wires coming ind from the left and the bottom one from the right.

If I connect it as shown on the picture, I will be fusing the negative wire on the top distributor and the positive on the bottom one.

Do you see any problems with this approach?

If you do this, half your circuits will still be live after the fuse blows. Effectively no fuse in those with the negative side fused. It will also be a maintenance problem for anyone tackling the system after you.

If you have to have the outputs on different sides, use appropriate an wire size to join positives to positives and negatives to negatives on the output to input between the distributors.
