Are you installing Van electrics?

Take a look at this talk-through and schematic for your job

If you’re planning to install a power system in a Recreational Vehicle, van or mobile home you’ll be interested in seeing the wiring schematic and accompanying tutorial just completed by Peter Bakker.

Peter is the designer of all schematics in our free-to-use library, but this latest schematic – a link to which you’ll find at the end of this article – is different because it includes a talk-through about the system choices. 

It also demonstrates how different levels of user-interface and system-control can be offered by choosing from our range of monitoring, measuring and communication devices. 

It’s a study plan for professional installers and DIYers alike, demonstrating the versatility which allows you to build according to your client’s …or your own preferences and needs.

The mobile installation featured is based around a 3kVA MultiPlus Inverter Charger, including 300Ah of Drop-in Lithium ion storage which has a battery management system (BMS) included; battery charging from Solar, Alternator (controlled by Orion Tr Smart DC-DC Charger) and AC sources; charge current control; and, as discussed, local and remote monitoring and management capabilities.

Peter Bakker holds an American Yacht and Boat Council AYBC certificate

The discussion text which accompanies the drawing includes a full explanation of the job performed by each of the installed devices, how they should be connected, including set up notes, cautions and alternatives suggestions which may be suitable for your own build.
