How to install a 3000 watt inverter in a Caravan part 1

How to Install of a renogy 3000 watt inverter in a caravan for all those off grid adventures, inverters convert 12volt battery supply to 240volt so you can run all those appliances off grid.

You should be using a 400A fuse for a Renogy 3000w inverter...that's whats on what they recommend. The rest of what you have done is perfect.

Gday muddy. Neat install.❤
Have you adjusted your Inverter setup/RCD since you made the video?
Watching vandercampadventures on YouTube a switch contactor is needed for N-E bonding when 240v output supplied from inverter (not on hook up) only then will the RCD function on AC output and protect you. Part of the new regs from Nov 23 apparently. I think the AU regs are similar to the UK with talking to a local sparky.

The renogy units already have an automatic change over switch inside the unit..

Very neat install and for 3000 watt inverter, going to higher amp hour lithium is the way to go. Just a comment on your fuse sizing. 12 volts x 200 amps= 2400 watts . So with your fuse you will limit the load the inverter can supply to roughly 2400 watts. You may have done this on purpose until you get lithium with higher discharge rates. All the best with your electrical upgrade.

A very informative video thank you. When is the next episodes coming please? I am looking to do this over the winter period and interested in the gear you install and how you connect into the existing system. We have a 12 month old van but no wiring diagram. I requested from the dealer but apparently it depends on the electrician/company installing the electrics to your van as they can all be wired differently. I don't believe that.
Also sorry my son uses this account for games and hence the name. Cheers Karl

Is 200A fuse enough for a 3000w inverter? What would you recommend for a 2500w inverter?

[joshpettersen]

Great video mate! I have the 2000w renogy inverter, not wored to 240v yet, do you have a list of what you bought for your installation

[Randwick]

Like your video. Looking at doing the same Renogy 300W inverter. A couple of questions please; 1 What size cable did you use? 2. is the battery isolator and the circuit breaker needed - could you just manually trip the circuit breaker to isolate 3. You used a 200amp breaker. Renogy suggests 400amp for the 3000W model. Any specific reason. Thank again

[philmilner]

How is the voltage drop ftom batteries to inverter?

[Aphony]

Good luck trying to change your batteries out with those brush guards in the way

[vagabondking]

Automatic circuit breaker should be on positive cable and manual breaker allways on negative cable.

I just did the same thing on my channel very good install mate sub you brother yeah I went with 200AH Lithium glad I did now

[superlead]

Just installed mine, thanks for your tutorial. I'm getting heat at the fuse and isolator terminals, is that normal?

[Randwick]

Hi Muddy, Do you need to attach an earth wire to the inverter? Trying to work it out and what size wire. Cheers

[extremeacc]

Your Redarc shunt will monitor your battery usage.

[Ian-evtg]

Why did you unnecessarily double isolate the positive cable? You could just isolate it with the test switch on the fuse

[chrisistocool]

I am planning out my 3k inverter. All the info said I need a 400a breaker and 4/0 awg wire. Am I wrong ?
