Dan Question 2 I wired mine into the house side of the 4 position switch with appropriately sized wire and a fusible link. If I may make a comment your alternator is a weigh too small. You need at least 100 amp output with an external smart regulator.
Good luck Mike S/V Persuasion C&C 37 Keel/CB Long Sault From: Daniel Sheer Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 4:30 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Wiring an inverter Two questions I hope I hope the listers here can give me some guidance on. 1) I broke the toggle on the 12v main breaker on my LF38. The sticker with the amp rating is gone. Anybody know what size I need? 2) I have a 1000 w West Marine inverter. I need opinions on how it gets wired into the battery banks. I have a separate starter battery and two banks of house batteries, each bank has two 12v batteries There's a 4 position switch that isolates the starter battery from the house batteries (off, 1, 2, all), I think, and a 4 position switch that isolates or combines the two house banks, again, I think. There's also a starter isolator that isolates the starting battery for starting and, I think, prevents discharge from the starter battery to the house, but combines everything for charging from my 55 amp alternator. Clearly, I have yet to fully figure out and confirm how it's all wired. I'd really apreciate some advice here.
