There should be a ac Neutral to ground (on the device) jumper and the ground should be bonded to the grounding electrode (vehicle chassis). If the ac neutral is not bonded to the chassis ground and the ac hot goes (shorts) to chassis ground, any ac over current device in the schem will not clear...

I used this same inverter in a popup camper for years. ac went to one GFCI duplex receptacle. Plugged in a power strip there with multiple outlets. Charged many different DC batteries from the plug strip. Worked flawlessly.

Note that in the Sure Sine Install & Op manual, last page lists GFCI devices by mfgr/part number that work with your inverter. Make sure to use one of the recommended devices.

In your case it is simpler, read the "Note" in the instructions and complete item #4 in the wiring description. done.. <edit> the complete wiring diagram is figure 6, including all grounding.

There is quite a bit of code compliance and safety items when grounding an inverter. I just read thru the grounding section of the Magnum MSH3012 M smart inverter pages 23-27. Answered all my questions. You might look at it.

Same MO here, little electron going with the flow thru power and control wiring diagram, seeing all the electrical fittings and devices in the build making sure that I have all the bits & pieces to put it together. Odd, but worked for me.

Did you ever use the second portable solar panel this summer ? Or just rely on the fixed panel ?

Thank you, glad to see that things are still in place as i remember them from the 80's trips.

Thanks

LiFePO4 batteries will not hold up to under hood engine compartment temps well. They are not starting batteries. They are however the best deep cycle batteries you can buy. Just mount it in the back of the jeep away from the engine compartment.

I have an '03 TJ and am looking for the TSB related to the Cat Converter Pre-Heater emissions monitor reset. I think it has to do with the wiring in the Power Distribution Center and voltage drop caused by high current in that circuit that is not supported by sufficient bus/wire size to supply...

The Smart Battery Protect 240A is in the lithium mode, the Smart Battery Protect 60 A is in the LVD mode. -I figure LVD is Low Voltage Disconnect, so the 60A BP disconnects the dc loads at a low voltage setpoint, maybe 12v dc for LI battery. -The 240A BP must perform the high voltage isolation...

Hello Dreadlocks, just now took the time and interest to look up your nearly complete 12v TH electrical system. I see you have installed the solar and refined your over voltage protection for the LI battery. I understand most of the diagram, but am wondering about the diode in the Victron 712...

All wired up REV 1. This allows the redarc BCDC input from the solar panels and tow vehicle battery to be controlled by the redarc device, using the battery protection relay for undervoltage, SOC and DC converter/charger over voltage protection. Works good for me now.

All wired up including external to box input/outputs. This did not work as I had expected it to. The Solar input and dc-dc battery charger input thru the redarc bcdc complicated control of the battery protection switch.

all wired up except for external inputs.

Thanks for the cold storage Li-Ion battery info. The Freeze your tail off event is planned thru Expedition Utah. As I remember its usually a small group of vehicles, usually less than 10 vehicles and most know of each other. Death Valley, the East Mojave, Canyonlands (fall & spring, snow in the...

OK, I'll download the BMV712 app and install it on the iPhone or iPad. Good Idea to play with the demo product. Do you keep your trailer above freezing inside all winter ? DO you turn OFF the Li-Ion Batt disconnect switch and leave the PD power supply feeding the DC load distribution Panel ...

Buried in snow, I remember that living in Utah years ago. Here in CA mine would be buried in rain, but it all ran off this morning. I understand a bit fuzzy. But you have the hands on experience and understand the Victron device operation. Now for the real nitty gritty of my understanding of...
