I remember the formula because the A has one sharp point, the V has one sharp point, so you multiply them together to get W with 2 sharp points (in the same direction). Just a little mnemonic I use. 1 point and 1 point = 2 points. A * V = W

I have just started doing my van conversion and am on the insulating stage this week, so I have some way to go before i get the electrical. The one thing that is making me think I have made a huge mistake is all the wiring I need to do. Your videos are helping me a little, but it is still very overwhelming, and the kit you use is very, very expensive. I am looking at 5 amg batteries at 120ah each backed up with 900watt of solar. I need to run 3 sets of 12v lights, two 12v fans, one 12v water pump. I need to run 2 hot water heater 240v (shower+hot tap), a 240v fridge, a 240v TV, a 240v induction hob and my oven will be a 240v air fryer. Then I will have 3 wireless phone charger pod with two 240v sockets with 2 USB built in. This all sound like a lot to have but obviously will only be running one or two things at once like the TV and lights or the air fryer and lights but I have no idea where to start. Am I better to go with a higher volt or amp set up (series/parallel)???

Great Video. I remember the basic formula's (Ohm's Law) as E=IxR and P=IxE where E=voltage, I=current, R=resistance and P=power in watts. It would have been nice if you had explained that what you did there resulted in about one hour battery life (120Ah battery) and if you add batteries you double the time use of the load. Its also easier for the novice to understand if you use 12V, 120V and 1200 watts. I also like that you explained why 24v and higher systems are used: lower current = smaller wire size = money saved. Explaining any electrical or electronic theory is tricky and you did a great job!

@johncalvo1743 Жыл бұрын

Nate, hats off to you. This is the best video I've seen on the subject because of its clarity and simplicity. I just bought 4 new 12V batteries for my semi. I believe they have 100ah each but I'm not sure. So let's assume they do. They use a parallel connection. So I was wondering if you could do a video illustrating WHY semi trucks (as well as other big vehicles) use a parallel connection instead of in a series.

Good explanation. I always use "watt hours" to describe the capacity of my batteries, and most people dont actually know anything about electricity beyond what they see on KZfaq, so they are always confused when something other than "amp hours" gets mentioned. "Amp hours" used in discussion is only generally relevant if you ASSUME the battery bank is 12v. My bank sounds much smaller than it actually is when I say I have 540Ah (because its 24v)- I always have to caveat, in 12v terms, its actually 1080Ah.

I like to think of it like this: Imagine workers carrying batches of electricity through a hallway (which is the cable). Wattage: how much electricity needs to be carried Voltage: how strong workers are; how much electricity each worker can carry. Amperage: how many workers are needed to carry the electricity. So, the lower the voltage, the less a worker can carry; which means you need more workers. More workers need more space in the hallway (cable) to be able to walk together, so lower voltage electricity needs a thicker cable to be carried. At a higher voltage, each worker can carry more electricity, so fewer workers are needed, and therefore, the hallway (cable) doesn't need to be as wide to accommodate them.

I appreciate your clear concise explanation in all your videos. Certainly helpfull. I'm exploring the new ecoflow power kits that seem full proof for those who don't want to cut, strip, crimp, heat shrink. Those are advertise as kilowatt systems, (5, 10, 15kwh). My only concern is the AC/DC Smart Distribution Panel that comes with their kit appears to limit the gauge wire it will accept. No doubt they have enough power but how do you connect larger appliances such as air conditioning unit with large gauge wire?

@EXPLORISTlife Жыл бұрын

I don't have much experience with the logistics of setting one of those types of portable power units up, so I can't answer that question. I would hope that would be something that the user manual of the device would clarify (or their tech support channels). It's pretty straightforward with the systems like I teach on this channel with individual components, though.

@TaylorMcDonaldMusic Жыл бұрын

Assuming you are running the large appliances off the AC side of the distribution panel, you dont need to worry about 'large' gauge wire in the same way you would on the DC side. An Air conditioner should be on the AC side and therefore need no larger than a 10AWG wire.

Finally - I hope everyone watches this video. Describing your battery system in amp hours is like saying you get miles per gallon. You are missing an important part of the equation and illustrates to someone with knowledge that you have no clue what you are talking about. As we move into Lithium, another key item to know is 3.2v per cell - this makes battery sizes 12.8v, 25.6v & 51.2v. I have a 600 amp hour system at 25.6v - so 15,360 watt hours of capacity on my coach. Nicely done video - thanks!
