Do you install electricity for mobile homes?

Take a look at this walkthrough and schedule for your project

If you are planning to install a power system in a recreational vehicle, van or motor home you will be interested to see the wiring diagram and accompanying tutorial just completed by Peter Bakker.

Peter is the designer of all the schematics in our free-to-use library, but this latest schematic—a link to which you'll find at the end of this article—is different because it includes a walkthrough of the system choices.

It also shows how different levels of user interface and system control can be offered by choosing from our range of monitoring, measurement and communication devices.

It's a study plan for professional installers and do-it-yourselfers alike, demonstrating the versatility that allows you to build to your client's ... or your own preferences and needs.

The mobile installation shown is based on a 3kVA MultiPlus inverter charger, including 300Ah drop-in lithium-ion storage which has a battery management system (BMS) included; battery charging from Solar, Generator (controlled by Orion Tr Smart DC-DC Charger) and AC sources; charging current control; and, as discussed, local and remote monitoring and management capabilities.

The discussion text accompanying the drawing contains a full explanation of the job performed by each of the installed units, how they should be connected, including set-up notes, cautions and alternative suggestions that may be suitable for your own build

• You can find Peter's wiring diagram of a 3kVA inverter with lithium storage for RVs and RVs here.
• You can access all of Peter's system diagrams with all of our units - when you visit this page you will be prompted to enter the name of the Victron unit you are interested in into the search field.
• The very detailed diagram cannot advise you on wire gauge or fuse size as this depends on the topography and current of the system. You can find all the information you need to properly size cables, fuses and more by consulting our online publication Wiring Unlimited.
