Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum.
I am currently in the planning and buying phase of my solar upgrade on my RV.
I have a 2022 Grand Design Transcend Xplor 231RK travel trailer (non-motorized)
I need some help figuring out wire sizing and fuse/breakers needed at a couple points in my build and haven't been able to find too much information relating to 24V systems.
I am following the explorist.life diagrams and videos as well as various other resources (Will Prowse of course)
Things I need to figure out:
From Inverter to Breaker box: what size triplex wire? what size breaker in ac distribution panel?
- RV is about 25 feet from inverter to breaker and from shore power to inverter so I would like to get 30 ft wire for clearance
What size ANL fuses at each connection in lynx distributor? (inverter, dc block, scc) (Answered: Inverter-250A, scc-150A, dc distribution-inline fuses)
From shore power to inverter: What size triplex wire? (Answered: 10awg Triplex)
What gauge wire from lynx to 12v dc block? (Answered: 10awg)
Is 2awg from SCC to lynx correct for my system? (Answered: 4awg)
Is 4/0 necessary from lynx to inverter, chassis ground, and batteries? (Answered: 1/0)
Sorry for all the questions but this is all I have left to figure out and would love to get it all sorted out so I can buy all the wiring/fuses necessary.
I have edited the explorist.life diagram to suit my setup for reference.
Everything else that has not been whited out I am using in my system except I am replacing the bmv-712 with a smartshunt.
24->12V converter will be added for dc block.
Any tips or constructive criticism outside of the scope of my questions is welcomed.
