I am updating Solar for my van conversion and I am a newbie to this! I am using the following components: 400 watts solar on the roof, with 2000W Renogy Pure Sine Wave Inverter, Renogy DCC50S 12V 50A DC Board Batterty Charger with MPPT. This is installed in my Ram Promaster.
Initially everything worked great, had no problems with the system until my batteries suddenly went down to 54%. I had a fridge running on low and that was about all I had running. I noticed that my positive wire running from the positive connection on the Renogy DC- MPPT to my 70 amp breaker was tripped. After this happened a couple of times, (only while driving with the alternator connected) I disconnected the power from the alternator and the breaker has not tripped since. Please have a look, I have attached a copy of Will"s blueprint that my system is designed after, showing where the breaker trips. (I can't get a good photo of my system)
Any advice is helpful!
