Got my 100A DC CURRENT meter order in from AMAZON yesterday... Pretty neat stuff haha...
I was surprised how small the meter module was... I knew what the dimensions where but when you see it in real life it sure is small haha...
I definitely can glue this to the back of of a speciality single switch box or a three switch box if I want to add different meters etc...
This will be fed by flexible PVC line from the tongue area of my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer where the battery bank is located.
Like said previously using the three wire plastic connector head cable terminated in a PVC ELECTRICAL BOX like shown here ont the side of the trailer tongue I only need some 3-inches of this 3-wire cable with the plastic plug on one end and small terminal lugs on the other end. This then is terminated into a small terminal block mounted inside the PVC ELECTRICAL BOX.
Then I can run standard 4-wire telephone cable between the front mounted PVC BOX and the single port PVC BoX mounted near my Inside Meter panel. This will solve the not knowing where to order longer lengths of this special 3-wire cable with connectors that comes with DC CURRENT meter.
This is a CARLON brand Electrical Switch Box from LOWES
I can glue the flat area of plastic sensor transformer coil provided to the vertical wall of the PVC BOX and with the opposite side ports of this PVC box I can easily route my 4AWG through the box and the transformer sensor coil and have a water tight enclosure using a regular water tight electrical box screw on lid that has the rubber around the inside edge. Once the 4AWG cable in run through the box I can seal up the ports with RTV sealant.
The third port of the PVC Box will have the PVC FLEX line in it sealed up with PVC Glue that will route my telephone round cable control line back to the meter panel location some 12-feet away.
All of this works great with my previous similar install on my OFF-ROAD TRAILER underbelly open to the elements.
