VICTRON CONNECT installed on the mobile phone shows TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION as -16.2mV/℃. The same document also gives a value of 6 for CELLS PER UNIT. The same parameter is specified as -4mV/℃/Cell for CYCLE USE VOLTAGE (14.2V - 14.4V). TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION for FLOAT CHARGING VOLTAGE (13.6V - 13.8V) is specified as -3mV/℃/Cell in the datasheet of RITAR brand service batteries included in this setup.

The installation of the system is as in the attached image. I'm asking for the solar assembly of my friend on the neighboring boat in the marina. Secondly, how do you actually go about wiring this to connect to a comsumer unit?Ĭheers! mattestlea asked Sep 22 at 09:32 AM But firstly, it looks like a lot of people doing van conversions don't seem to bother with it. I can understand the reasons behind this. That being said, my main source of power will be the 525w solar array I plan on installing as well as the Orion DC-DC charger feeding into 2x200ah Victron Lithium Smart Batteries.Īlso while I'm here, in Wiring Unlimited it mentions creating a bypass switch for the inverter. Is anyone able to explain in simple terms what a transfer switch is and what it will do for me in relation to a van conversion? Main things I'm worried about are blowing shore feeds when hooked up at campsites, or over/underpowering my systems. But frustratingly, they mention all the reasons and specs as to why they purchased the unit, other than talk about the transfer switch rating. What's more, after zooming in on other peoples videos and guides I can see there's roughly a 50/50 split between those who use the 50a and those who use the 16a. But even then I'm struggling to understand it as there seems to be a variety of uses. Most of the info I've read online seems to relate to fitting into buildings rather than vans. That being said, I can't for the life of me figure out how this transfer switch relates to van conversions. (Main thanks to the author of Wiring Unlimited.) As a newbie to wiring and someone who's British tendencies tend to make me quite modest, I'm damn proud at how confident I feel about electrics after the amount of research I've done. I'm currently planning out my wiring for a van conversion and looking at getting a Multiplus 12/3000.
