Please consider supporting the project each week with a few dollars / brupeg
Diederick & Dame push hard to get the AC electrics finished, ready for Damon to finish off the DC side of the electrical system in a week or so. The guys power the boat up from the new generator and it works perfectly!
Here is what happened over the final two days with Diederick. See the moment Brupeg starts up for the first time on a fully functioning AC electrical system.
A big thank you to Diederick for making the 3,200km round trip to make sure Brupeg is ready for the next stage of the install.
Cheers
Jess, Dame & Baby Cat

I love how every install is based on a hope, a prayer, and an very antipodean “yeah, she’ll be right” 😂

@kiwi_welltraveled4375 19 күн бұрын

"She'll be right" is the international Kiwi standard Along with "Sweet As" and "Chur" Doubly so, if a "Bro" is added

@ProjectBrupeg 19 күн бұрын

I think if a kiwi ever approaches a DIY job and some aspect of ‘she’ll be right’ isn’t at play, he or she should immediately seek medical attention as that almost sounds terminal to our ears. Our thoughts and prayers would be with their family at that very difficult time.

Nice to see Ma and Pa Smurf securely fastened on the wall, I have no doubts all the baby Smurfs will be equally secured to battleship standards 😃👍🏼 A huge step forward, knowing that such a critical system is in place, will give you a lot of peace of mind THANKS "D" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This was a very satisfying video. Real progress , AC power and generator running. The mess can be dealt with later. What satisfaction to hear little miss geny come to life. Plus powering up the ship. Your color coded electric map will be something to behold. I suggest you color code things like fuel lines etc. Of course in your spare time 😂. How is temperature in the battery/ electric room. Still think you need so kind of cooling once all the covers are in place. The galley is the place for cooking😂. Thumbs up for everyone with a beer in the other hand

@ProjectBrupeg 19 күн бұрын

Thanks. With the previous inverters, batteries and charger controllers we never saw temps over 45c. We will add ventilation but we think it’s pretty manageable even without a constant cool breeze in that room.

@SkyLark-yv7rs 17 күн бұрын

Love the progress! I may have missed it but did you add binding leads between your rubber mounted areas and the hull to prevent differences in electrical potential between components. It would be a shame to have a static buildup destroy a component.

@ProjectBrupeg 17 күн бұрын

They will have a large case earth which will achieve the same thing. The case earth needs to be able to handle a full DC current discharge. The wiring diagram calls for it to be 120mm2 so it’s a massive cable. Biggest on the boat

WOW stunning amount of work done that is amazing. I was wondering when you were going to figure out that the fuel pump was the filter (hehe) have I done that a few times myself. The electrics are looking amazing, hard to imagine how you managed to get by on that old stuff everything looks nice and industrial now. Bet you guys are feeling a whole lot more confident with the electrics now. Smooth head ... I have to ask what was going through your mind there ... ?

Up in the Pilot House where the Electrics box is being reconfigured, it appears that you changed the plan to mount the breakers on the DIN Rail inside the box on the aft wall of the box (the one sharing wall with the Saloon) and NOT on the swinging door to the box. Earlier on, you explained it is not a good idea to have cables that are constantly being flexed or moved by being placed on a swinging door. So your solution was to mount them on the aft wall of the box and not the swinging door. Then later on, it looks like the breakers and DIN rails have been mounted on the Door? I am confused. Did you change the plan? Are those breakers now permanently mounted to the "door" that is no longer able to swing open because it is screwed down to the wood underneath? Maybe this is just a small detail that will be fixed once everything else is squared away? I am so confused! LOL Great video I don't know how you are managing to keep all these plates spinning at once. Jerry

@ProjectBrupeg 19 күн бұрын

The breakers are solid mounted on the din rails which are on the alloy beams. The door is just a cover now. Hope that helps clear it up. Dame

If there's one thing that's a bummer about the engine room, it's that it's not just a few cm higher so peeps could stay upright proper in it. But that'd mess up the verticality of the boat so... can't win them all.

Using non tinned wire, while not is good is only an issue if you don’t seal the ends correctly. We have tinned wire onboard that was sealed correctly seven years ago and it looks like new when you open it up.

The genset is able to be controlled by the victron cerbo and the touch screen that connects to it, so once the rest of the gear is installed and wired the genset panel isn’t needed up top

You need a small electric fan running at night when you sleep to camo all the noises the boat makes. Vibrating fans are then no problem. Even works for us land living peoples.

@ProjectBrupeg 19 күн бұрын

On a boat we’ve found after a while, you develop the skill to classify noises into two categories. ‘I can ignore that noise and stay sleeping’ and ‘I need to be up and fully alert and possibly dressed so I can deal with that noise at the other end of the boat in under 3 seconds’.

@jaygee5693 19 күн бұрын

Every noise has a cause. Masking them with a fan or music could be masking the sound of a problem.
