 Hi Edd,  I love your diagramme and
 will be lurking on this list to get answers of my own. 
 Mine is a bit simpler than yours, but I plan to re-wire my
 AC/DC stuff after having my electric motor put in and will
 be re-wiring everything to replace the old companionway
 panel with a Nav station panel and cockpit sub panel and all
 the old wires with new tinned ones.  So, I will compose my
 questions to you first, then later when back from the
 boat.    My boat will, out of space
 etc and personal leanings be a bit less ambitious than
 yours, but am intrigued with all the devices.  So, if you don’t mind a
 pile of dumb questions, let me fire away.  Regards,  Alexander M.

Re: Stus-List Ed Shillay's Wiring Diagramme

2015-04-06 Thread Peter Fell via CnC-List
Yes an ACR is an 'Automatic Charge Relay', which is really a VSR or 'Voltage 
Sensitive Relay'. Connected between the positives of the two batteries (or 
banks of batteries), it is an automatic switch that closes and combines the 
batteries together when it senses a charging voltage on one of them, in 
order to charge the 2nd battery bank, and opens to disconnect the two 
batteries when the voltage drops (indicating charging has finished or 
discharge is occurring), so that the 2nd battery is not discharged as well. 
They also will not connect to a severely discharged battery or when an over 
voltage is sensed (battery or charger failure). And they disconnect during 
starting. Other companies make similar products, such as Yandina or 
Magnacharge. Also, it should be noted that these types of devices are much 
better than the older-style diode-based battery isolators, which because of 
the voltage drop associated with diodes don't efficiently charge the 2nd 
battery.


We've had quite a discussion going on these types of devices recently, under 
the various iterations of this wiring thread.

Re: Stus-List Ed Shillay's Wiring Diagramme

ACR=Automatic Charge Relay

For Blue Sea components, it is an relay that is wired between two batteries (or 
banks) and is normally open. When one of the banks is at a charging voltage 
(something over 13v, IIRC, which indicates that a charging source is present) 
and the other battery is partially depleted (under something like 12.2 or 12.3, 
IIRC) the relay closes and lets current flow from the high voltage source bank 
to the low voltage bank. If the batteries are both in the 12v range, the ACR 
stays open. If one of the batteries is really low, which would indicate a bad 
battery or a short or cause high current flow, the ACR will not close. 

Unlike an Echo Charger, current flow is determined by voltage differential and 
not limited by the ACR. Also unlike an Echo Charger, the current will flow 
either way from high to low - an Echo Charger is a one way device.

to limit the maximum current between the battery banks, it protects the relay 
contacts.  'They' calculated what resistance is needed not to exceed the 
contacts rating.  Simplest solution; a wire that limits the current by its 
resistance.

You are correct that when the goal is to get the juice to a piece of gear 
fatter cable, shorter run is better.

unpredictable.  The over current can weld the contacts, permanently on.  Or it 
can burn the contact surface and leave some "ash" that stops making electrical 
contact, permanently off. It depends on the conditions in THAT fraction of the 
second.

 What do we
 know about the failure modes of these devices?

 limits the current by its resistance.
 
 You are correct that when the goal is to get
 the juice to a piece of gear fatter cable, shorter run is
 better.

  Hi Leslie,
 
 
  Why would you max size a wire
 spec? 
 
 
  I
 can't think of any practical situation where a little
  too big is not
  good and the
 shorter runs are better too.
