Re: How large a fuse?
Welcome to the forum Steve 1. You could use a smaller gauge, overcurrent protection must be sized for the smallest gauge. 2. Yes 3. 10 A assuming 14 AWG 4. Yes 5. 10 A assuming 14 AWG 6. Larger is be…1 · -
Re: charging battery bank with an alternator
Without a voltage regulator, the alternator would probably produce enough voltage to work with MPPT, with a regulator it would have too low a voltage and even with a 24V regulated alternator, it woul…1 · -
Re: Setting up an off grid system with no battery
A couple of bad sun days would be a bit of a downer, actual sun hours are less than light hours, meaning say 5 hours production, to maintain the temperature for 19 hours, maintaining temperature to s…2 · -
Re: Is my inverter draining power?
Regarding fans, I use a 12 VDC oscillating fan with a brushless motor, it's about 14" diameter, 15 watt 1.3A, no need to have the inverter running.1 · -
Re: New build off-grid
A 24V system is not necessary bigger, it's just when the loads exceed a certain point, it's better to choose a higher voltage, which in turn reduces current, thereby allowing smaller conductors, fuse…1 ·
