Hi ya
I'm looking for info...
I have a 2021 Peugeot boxer with smart alternator.
I want to run a 12v system here is the equipment I have so far, I am also not sure what size fuses to use and where.. !
I have :
I have a 330w solar panel with :
Victron Smart Solar MPPT 100/30 charge controller,
Victron Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger Isolated 12v-12v 30Amp,
Victron smart shunt 500
Victron smart distribution
with 2 x Victron AGM Super Cycle Battery - 12V / 270ah
Or similar..!

Looking for a wiring diagram and help with design if possible

Thanks in advance

Victron smart distribution
Do you mean Victron lynx distributor?

We can't really draw the system until we know what your loads are.
What inverter are you thinking of?
What about pure dc loads?
 
Sorry yes Victron Lynx Distributor
I have a 12v fridge that uses 1.2ah
Small 12v tv 56w
All I want is to be able to run my coffee machine 240v 1465w
I might put a 2000w inverter ?
What do you think..
Cheers Jere
 
Suggest you watch this video on how to hack a lynx power-in to add fuses positions.
I suggest you get 2 of them for a sweet setup that I am drawing today.
 
Q: How far from the starter battery to the house system round trip?
A:
 
5 mtrs
Ive used 16mm from van battery to distribution board.
This is the Lynx I got...

First draft down really fast so double check for errors
This is a textual representation of all the connections.
The top level is the lynx distributor.
The wire
Code:
legend {
    {} { functional block }
    nnn|NNN| { fused busbar position where nnn is guage in awg and NNN is fuse rating in amps }
    nnn|UUU| { un-fused busbar position where nnn is guage in awg }
    nnn---NNN { inline device where nnn is the canonical inpoint and NNN the canonical outpoint }
    <-> { bi-directional current flow }
    -> { uni-directional current flow }
    <- { uni-directional current flow }
    dpst_breaker { double pole single throw breaker }
    @ { connection previously defined }
}
dc_domain {
    busbar {
        feeders {
            left{

All I can see is code no picture..?
Its not code though.
Its a textual representation of all the connections to make the system.
It starts with the lynx busbars which are the core of the system.
The legend explains all the elements.

I'm not familiar with this form of layout.
And I'm dyslexic...lol
I can only work with images..

Cheers
