What is this? Was part of an Anchor winch setup


Recommended Posts

I have replaced an Old VWC1200 with a newer VWC1500 maxwel winch,  the old breaker was attached to a grey box that had this inside it.

The to bigger screws had cable running to positive of house and start battery banks,  and the smaller wires in the picture go to an accessories switch on the panel.  Disconnect the main cables and everything is still working,  so far have got nothing on what it is supposed to do.  Would be around 1992 vintage i am guessing.  I am thinking some form of battery switch to connect both banks together?

Looks like a solenoid. 

Without the full wiring digram it's impossible to understand it's intention.

But it reads like the intention was to join your house and start together to provide more power to the winch. 

It's possibly (hopefully) diode protected.
