Yes he can, there are (2) DPDT switches with shore power and main genset inputs with loads split into groups A and B. These should be shown on...
Yes, of course. There's a centralised pump in the main mach'y space with rigid piping routed to each WT compartment led back to the pump through a...
OP's questions were why his system was set up the way it is and were there potential down sides to changing it. I'd say those questions were...
His system is set up to be USCG Subchapter T compliant. This is required for commercial operation but also used when a builder/operator is looking...
Worst case is you need to start your emergency bilge pump and all that happens is the genset grinds to an immediate halt. The inrush current on...
Nice quote CR. You must never remove the interlock. Multiple AC sources cannot act in parallel without aligning phases, not an easy or cheap thing...
It's set up that way for regulatory compliance, as certain 'vital' loads are required to have two independent power sources. The genset provides...
I've registered several vessels in USVI and tax has never been an issue. Insurance is something else entirely and terms are agreed with your...
Not sure that's a comparison I'd like to make o_O https://www.retailconsumerproductslaw.com/2020/11/recalls-in-review-lithium-ion-batteries/
I've worked with large 'structural' windows several times and the previous responses re: strength & testing and class approval are spot on. Also,...
In general, it's probably fair to say that the towing vessel carries overall responsibility for the towing operation under normal circumstances....
Ok, think I understand. Panels were full length & somewhat thin with width added by joining along any seam. Glue lines underneath running across...
Looks good to me. Are there seams between the panels?
The other side of that Atlas might be 480Vac 3ϕ :eek:
Apologies if I've missed something in your question, but I'd connect L1 L2 to L/N and GND to case or green screw. Ensure your N is not connected...
You're referring to the new generation of inverter/chargers with features like AC pass-through as standard. Victron and others can also...
This isn't quite right, in USA there is no neutral for 240Vac split phase. The 3-wire conductor will be L1 L2 GND to the load. Shore supply uses...
Yes, it's commonly found on gaff-rigged masts. Each shroud has an eye spliced or seized at the upper end and is looped over the mast as far as the...
BMW has made their i3 battery available for marine use for several years now. Chemistry is Li-NMC with capacity around ~40 kWh. I read that this...
GRP vs aluminium structures often work out to be similar in weight once designed accordingly for each material. I'd have thought main benefits...
