Hello,
Newbie here (not a trained electrician) but trying to learn and do a solar install on my retired ambulance RV. Probably my 1st mistake.
Sorry if this has been answered already. I’ve been reading but haven’t found answers yet.
Most Expected Loads: Watts Amp Approx Amp
Load Hours per Day
12 VDC
LED lights (max 10 lights) 0.5 0.417 2
IPhone/IPad 5
Cell booster 20 0.17 17
120 VAC
Single burner induction burner 1500 12.5 62.5
Micorwave 1500 12.5 41.5
Cpap (x2) 160 1.3 94
Laptops (x2) 3.4 .33 28
Mini Split AC/Heat pump 9000 btu 1000 8.5 400 - 600
Snomaster Dual Zone Fridge 66 0.55 30-40
______ ____ ___
Total 4250 36.37 890
Solar Components I have:
6-210 watt panels
Victron MPPT 150/60 Solar Charger
Victron Multi Plus Inverter 24/3000/70
Victron Lynx
Victron Orion DC-DC Converter
16-CATL 3.2v 271a prismatic cells in 8s2p 24v/560a
Electrodaucus SBMS0
Approximate length of positive cable from batteries to dual shunts (for SBMS0) will be 5.5 feet, with doubled up 1” x 5” x ¼” aluminium flat bar from shunts to disconnect switch, and 1” x 5” x ¼” aluminium flat bar tp Lynx.
Approximate length of negative cable from batteries to Victron BMV-712 shunt will be 5.5 feet. Victron shunt connected to Lynx with doubled up 1” x 3” x ¼” aluminum flat bar.
Approximate length of +/- cables from Lynx to Inverter will be 3.5 feet.
What gauge battery/inverter cable described above is required?
What size Class-T fuse should be used?
Does anyone have any concerns with this setup?
Thanks, Greg
