    Morning Low is the voltage before any use, maybe before sunrise :)
    Yield is the power used including the inverter. ~  I  Indicates Inverter Use (Fridge +)

  • Distribution Root

    From the batteries 12 volts is fed to a mash-up via 16㎜² (110A)

    Mash-up for 12 volt distribution.
    The heavy cables are 1. from the battery and 2. through the wall to [dist-box1]

    The first port of call is a fuse box, from which currently there are three loads.

    The main load is the ring-main to the main room. This goes via 20A fuse to a small distribution box in the main room, from which it goes to another distribution box by the computer station.

  • Nipex Stripper

    Sadly the jaws on the Nipex do not meet and the bevel of the 'cutting' edge is so shallow that it is more like a crimper. Farnell are refunding me the cost and leaving me with the duff tool as it is not worth the returns cost etc.

  • 230v Mains: Internal

    The overlap with the 230v Mains: external is that they both take power from the inverter via a fuse box. There the fuse box feeds two internal circuits. The extension connection goes to the previously used three gang flying extension, now pretty much fixed to the wall and a 6A fuse that feeds a line to a) a junction box from where a cable goes through the wall to a 2 gang socket,

    and to
    b) feed to another junction box to a 2 gang socket installed above the tool bench, and also
    c) feeds a third 2 gang socket in the corner of the computer desk.
