For these posts I am using a diagram that closely follows our actual installation aboard Jedi. In this post I discuss the input side: the shore power and generator inputs, the transfer switch, the input bus and the P conductor busbar. I present a detailed description of an installation that

Now that we have solar arrays, lithium batteries and good electronics to run everything, it is time to upgrade the AC part of our systems to a safer and better setup. This better system is insulated floating power distribution, like used in hospitals, war ships and commercial ships and other

Finally received everything I needed to finish this project. The pictures above and below show every wire and every connection. I used a Wago for the black wire running back to battery negative or busbar because that wire needs to be installed after we mount this module where we need

Engine start inrush current measurements.The scope is at 50mV/div. The shunt is 50mV for 500A. On the time axis we have 200ms/div. We see around 60mV so 600A inrush, quickly reducing to 300A after 200ms and the engine is running after 800ms.This is a large 5.
