Hi all (especially hilldweller and papajohn, Right up your street)
I am going to wire an inverter in to my van. For those that helped on the previous thread of mine about the failure of the inverter to charge the laptop, thank you all very much for your funster help. However the answer was,,,,, give yourselves a pat on the back if you said simply that the Inverter was not up to the job, and too small. I know not why but that was the answer. Checked with a bigger inverter no problems charging in any condition.
SO moving on. I have now purchased off a member here (thanks Gary) a 1.2 kw inverter for Nikkis hair. (its a low power hairdryer) which of course will meet all my other needs...... here is my current set up.....
2x 85w batteries.
i 80w solar panel (currently giving 2.9amps) (posh regulator says so.)
And of course for those skiing times and wild camping for anything longer than a couple of days the trusty 1kw red honda whisper quiet generator.
ah bliss.
So with the telephone help from Ash I am going to install my Inverter and wonder if anyone has any simple diagrammes? I want it wired to be constant in that when on, all the sockets in the van will be live.
Im sort of sure how it goes and understand the relay behind the 230v but simplicity is the answer, in diagrammes. or simple words.
TIA
paul
