In this video in our tutorial series, we're looking at the electrics in our van. I'll show you one way to calculate your power needs in your camper, and a simple method to determine your battery size. We'll also look at the right cable cross-section for your electrical lines and talk about individual components such as inverters and charging boosters. Finally, using my circuit diagram, I'll show you how my electrical system is constructed and which safety features you shouldn't do without. And with that, enjoy the video ✌️ ⚡⚡⚡ Caution ⚡⚡⚡ I'm not an electrician and am merely presenting my system here. All information and opinions given here are my personal ones and I accept no liability for their accuracy. Electrics are not to be trifled with. Get support from a specialist and have them inspect your system and approve it for correctness ⚡⚡⚡ You can download my Excel spreadsheet for the design of the 12V system here: https://1drv.ms/x/s!Au2qEcIsuKRgsC_zs... You can find my circuit diagram as a JPEG and as a Power Point file here: JPEG: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au2qEcIsuKRgsCOvw... PP: https://1drv.ms/p/s!Au2qEcIsuKRgsCX_a... If you want to buy me a lemon ice cream, you can do so via my old channel name on PayPal: https://paypal.me/weltreisemitalex ???? Or you can click on the affiliate links (marked with *) to products that I use myself, bought for the van conversion or are used by the protagonists in the video. There is no cost to you, but I get a small commission from Amazon, which I can use to buy more lemon ice cream...or take over the world...whichever is easier. I am currently converting my second van: • Conversion tutorials 2.0 - Fiat Ducato L5H3 and I installed a different, simpler electrical setup there: Independence Kit: https://tidd.ly/48K4npT * or https://amzn.to/3te30kc * 5kWh battery: https://tidd.ly/3UbMg6v * 2kWh battery: https://tidd.ly/4d3wRh9 * or directly from Ecoflow: 10kWh Independence Kit complete: https://tidd.ly/44dmK5h * 5 kWh battery: https://tidd.ly/49Gi5Kk * 2 kWh battery: https://tidd.ly/3U6iNLi * Do you have any questions about self-conversion and van life? Are you interested in a specific topic and want to know more? Get it out there! I look forward to your comment ???? You can also find a lot of information directly in the playlist for my own conversion: • DIY Campervan self-conversion ???? You can find the latest information about the conversion on my Instagram channel: / alwayskeepexploring Other products for this part of the installation: LiFePO4 battery with Bluetooth and BMS: https://amzn.to/3m9Vde1 * (currently there is only the 300Ah version here - just look for others there) MPPT charge controller: https://amzn.to/3kfNDhj * flexible solar modules: https://amzn.to/2T6C2VU * Charging booster with shore power function: https://amzn.to/3ebtxnC * Inverter with built-in FI: https://www.fraron.de/wechselrichter/... ⚡⚡⚡ A small addendum to the inverter! When buying, make sure that you get an inverter with pure sine wave voltage. Cheap inverters only have a modified sine wave and can destroy some newer electrical devices with it!!! ⚡⚡⚡ 12V fuse box: https://amzn.to/3dFCCU1 * Distribution rails: https://amzn.to/31rDMxA * Vehicle power lines: https://amzn.to/3o1Qfl4 * 2-core vehicle power line: https://amzn.to/3t6FPTM* Circuit breakers: https://amzn.to/35i08Cv * - These are cheaper but have occasionally tripped too early (i.e. at lower amps than stated)! I got a refund for the faulty ones and bought some from this company: https://www.fraron.de/einbauzubehoer/... These then tripped properly.
