My Electrical Wiring Diagram

Postby misu55 » Fri Dec 02, 2005 1:14 pm

A HUGE thanks to everyone who responded and IM'd me with regards to my electrical design questions.

Based on the responses and previously posted electrical diagrams, here is MY attempt at designing the system to operate as I would like.

Basically this setup will allow me to automatically charge the cabin batteries while driving, hooked-up to shore power, or while running the generator. It also gives me 120 volt and 12 volt power regardless of whether or not I'm connected to shore/generator. The selection of 120 volt power is also automatic with the exception of a switch I have added between the batteries and inverter. I did this to allow me to reduce the drainage on the batteries when not connected to shore/generator power and not using 120 volt power.

I need to verify the rating on the inverter pass-thru circuit. I intend on wiring the Galley and Cabin outlets in series to a 20amp breaker in the WFCO Power Center.

I have purposely omitted some in-line fuses and have not shown the breakers and fuses which are intergral to the WFCO Power Center.

Below are links to the equipment I am planning on using. If you have other (cheaper) sources I would be happy to hear about them because this setup is good but not cheap.

Of course, your input and opinions are always welcome (and appreciated)!

Wow! What a set-up!

The only thing I can comment on is that generator, which is the one I'll be getting too. Recently, I had the opportunity to hear the next model up in action, the 3000, and you won't BELIEVE how quiet it is. The 2000 is only like one decibel louder.
Here we go again!

Hi

Just a comment re decibels 1 Extra Decibel is 10% extra,

The difference between 60 Dba and 65 Dba is 50% more noise, 70 Dba is twice as loud as 60 Dba

The difference between 60 and 80% is 300% more noise.
