wiring it all together
hi everyone, iv fixed a lot of wiring mistakes and problem that were dangerous , these are my thoughts on wiring up a system { these are general thoughts, each system will be different }. lets start at the mill or gen end of things. I will assume the mill is three phase, the wire size from the mill to the disconnect must be the proper awg that is needed for your output current and voltage rating , there are many good calculator out there, I use { the12volt } they have all the calculators you will need in one stop. the cable coming from the mill will go to the disconnect first, from there to the rectifier, I mount my rectifiers in the same enclosure as the disconnects and outside of the house for safety and quick access if needed. from the rectifiers dc side the wire size must again be calculated for size and distance to the battery. at the battery there WILL ONLY BE TWO CONECTIONS PER POST , do not listen to any other garbage on this critical connection. the incoming wire and the wire to the bus is the only connections at the battery period . SO you will have one in coming positive wire and one out to the bus wire on each post, the positive and on the negative. the wire going to the bus must be large enough to handle the amperage you will be using from the entire system ,this means the dump system and the draw system together, on larger systems the good ones iv seen use a copper flat bar system, vary heavy duty. I install a breaker between the bus wire and the bus for added safety, the breaker will need to be rated at you system amperage draw also. the buss itself must be rated for the amperage draw of the entire system also. from the buss you should wire the same as you would the house and to code, the low voltage code is different than the ac grid code for me at my location, this should be checked out before wiring. this will vary in different locations . if any thing happens the fire dept will check your system and take action as nec. the dump system should connect at the same point as the lead from the battery connects to the bus breaker and on the battery side . this wire also needs to be rated for the amount of amperage the dump system can possibly see, I don't use any fuse or breaker on the dump feed wire because this is also the only possible safety for over voltage, amperage and must not fail for a system to be safe, if the wires and system is designed properly this wire will be over rated on purpose. the buss also needs to be rated for the amperage of the buss system, my system is capable of four time the highest possible wattage I can use from my dumps, from the buss I wire the ssr,s as needed, I have 10 in my system and all work flawless always. this is a basic complete system , I would like to get more detailed but there is a million possible combinations . one must do the homework with the parts your using in your system build. this doesn't take a lot of time but will help to build a system that has no issues and will last a log time trouble free and safely. thanks for reading
