Default A/C Elect.

Two wires on one lug. Shouldn't the lugs at the top be connected instead of double tapping the bottom lugs ?

Yes, you would need to do that if you wanted the disconnect to function and for the fuses to actually protect the unit.

Might as well tape them together. Who needs a fuse box anyway?

I think they may be on to something. They found a great way to save money on fuses
