Re: Please Review my Inverter and Charger Install
Wow lots of great input since I last checked! beemerphile1, I installed the suggested size based on #4 wire that the manufacturer instructions offer. Can you give a little more detail on your thoughts and what size you would suggest? Also, yeah the issue with space, it is wide open all around EXCEPT I opened a hold in the wall to the interior so that the plug and toggle switch on the face would be accessible from the interior...there is a slight gap between the inverter and the opening, still though, maybe that's taking a risk. Thought about some kind of non thermal conductive caulk or something might be okee dokee since we'll not (150 AMPS!) be running a table saw on it, more like a little evening TV, a small coffee maker (900 watts for the 2 minutes it is on per cup), then perhaps the laptop or iPad charger from time to time. If the collective opinion is that is still going to cause a situation where too much heat is around the faceplate, I'll take the advice and do something different maybe, like moving it back in favor of a dedicated AC outlet from the outlets of the inverter. Thanks again! Cheers.378Views0likes0CommentsPlease Review my Inverter and Charger Install
Hi Forum Techies! I'm not new to RVing but after reading a lot more on dry camping I decide to procure a Xantrex 1220 charger and ProSeries PSI-1500 Inverter in my new Dutchmen 2780RBSL trailer. I'm hoping for a quality assurance review on the work and advise if anyone thinks this homemade result of Googling and YouTubeing is solid. Two pics, from slightly different views: As you can probably see the mains, with the protective wrap emerge inside my forward pass through (but are not yet attached)to the battery bank. Positive is through an 80AMP fuse and then to a Fossgate buss bar one each, positive and negative. Each positive leg then flows to switches one each for the appliances. Both are grounded, as is the whole contraption on 4Ga wire. Thoughts?3.7KViews0likes13Comments
