A little bit of everything. Not born with a silver spoon in hand, I am constantly building and creating things. We like camping and off-roading. Bringing our son into our lives as well as starting a carrierr to pay the bills has stopped me from sharing a lot of the household energy efficiency builds I have done, as well as the majority of the start of our family bus conversion! I plan to start posting more videos and my goal is to reach 1000 subscribers within 3 months from now... So here is to that!
Thanks for sharing. I'm working on a similar project, but I'm stuck on a step and can't figure out how you solved it! Could you tell me the part that allows you to connect the alternator to the shaft? It's very visible at the 6th second of the video.
Yeah nice! I watched my Landlord move a Refrigerator up three flights of Stairs to a 3rd Floor Apt. and with my hip I was like no way I want to be doing that after retirement. But might want more than Stiltz had to offer.
⚡️⚡️***WARNING!!!****⚡️⚡️ ⚡️☠️🔥☠️⚡️☠️🔥☠️⚡️ First and for most this is very dangerous!!!! As a high lineman this was my greatest fear!! Secondly check with your service provider before connecting one house to another, it could be considered “theft of utilities.” Thirdly… make sure you are using heavy enough gage (awg) wire, minimum of at least 12/3 wire a 20 amp circuit breaker. Forth… ONLY connect neutral and ground together in the primary panel, secondary panels the ground and neutral must be separated.
I'd add a rolled-up rope ladder at the side for power failure or jamming so you can get down safely if your at home alone or a ladder mounted beside it that you can hop over to
Great Job ! “ I got a question if you would be so kind and say I have a 5KVA solar inverter what’s you’re thoughts on 230v the L1 - is Hot 115v+ & the Neutral is Hot 115+ and ground is Ground “ my thoughts are off the inverter the L1 ~ 115v to 1 Phase in main panel & the Neutral off the inverter which is Hot 115+ to the other side of the main panel ! Making the box One Phase in an Electrical Emergency grid down “ the inverter is Hybrid “ but I would still shut off the 2 mains to keep less electrical confusion from losing split Phase to 1 Phase to Back to Split Phase ! Worse case scenario if I was sleeping the Hybrid inverter would kick electricity on if lost and would stop the whole main panel as One Phase when electricity came back on , “ Are “ there any issues going 1 Phase to Split Phase in you’re main panel ? If you would be so kind to answer ?
Ive backfeed with my 120v inverter. But the only way that it works is, with one hot and the neutral wire. It doesn't work when i hook up the ground wire. Im thinking the reason is because my panel is bonded already.
For a complete offgrid application. My 240v generator is hooked to the 100amp main breaker . My solar is hooked to a 30amp single poll breaker on Side B . I have a interlock swith in place .so i can't back feed to either power source. I have not done this jumper yet . But can I take a double pole 30 amp breaker ,put a jumper wire . And safely feed both A&B ??? From 30Amp solar enverter . And does jumper breaker need turned off when 240v genorater feed box ???
Fantastic job - I’m using a 5KVA 230v 93A solar inverter 48v on this 230 V one phase inverter L one is 115 V the neutral is 115 V in ground is ground so technically you have two hotlines coming out of this one Inverta yes it’s one phase but it’s at 115 V and what I can figure out 93 A divided by two is 45.5A Per phase and then the grid down situation having half your amperage is better than having no amperage at all thanks for your video clip electricity they try to make it too complicated and you write it down right to the balls to the wall working !
Just add a transfer switch for safety....anyway my question is...since as you said only as emergency 😁...what if instead of jumping the single pole 20Amp breakers...you used 2 outputs of the inverter with 2 extension cords?..are the 2 outputs diferente coming out of the inverter?. Thanks
Perfect! Just built a solar generator and was wondering how I could power both legs of my panel with 120 volt. Pretty simple. Your video was the first to come up. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
If you’re inverters output was 220+v you could get a Siemens MTO 100A Transformer 230v in One Phase & out Two 115v dual Phase what I’ve read ! To keep any 220v lines ! Think about it I am Not An electrician !
thanks, don't forget to do marinisation of electronic components and clear the motor once a while to remove the salt, also you can make a sealed big chamber and cool the air inside with a diy sea water pump cooler
@@The_Vols_Eye because it needs to interlocked someway! So as the only way the generator can feed through the breaker locks out the ability to have the main on. It’s actually illegal in most places to have it without an interlocking device or transfer switch
@@sashly99True!! If you don’t have an Interlock, there is always the possibility that that main breaker could fail and close back up. It’s a mechanical break that could always fail. The interlock prevents closure even in the event of a failure of the breaker.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Put two pole breaker and jumper wire between two poles to achieve 120 on booth bars. As long as your not running 240v appliances I think your Amps will shoot up if you do
Based on a couple of the comments, it IS reckless and dangerous. If you have a basic understanding of electrical wiring and mains power it’s a heck of a lot safer. Remember kids: Interlocks are only 40 bucks… EDIT: The worst part is that it’s more dangerous for the Linemen than it is for you. For anyone reading this, if you don’t turn off your main breaker or forget to turn it off, then you can send your generators electricity down the power lines and electrocute a lineman or even a family member or neighbor if lines are on the ground. If you do this, the best method is to use a generator inlet box permanently wired to a generator breaker in your panel, while also installing an “interlock” on your panel. This can all be done for less than 150 bucks in parts (that includes the breaker, generator cord, interlock, and inlet box)
This makes me jealous😂 We use 230v out here but our local governments care a lot about safety, a little too much. I can't access anything without removing almost the entire structure. It's made so you only flip the circuit breaker when needed and that most will just hire an electrician to not have to deal with it.
That’s kind of what I was looking for. I’m try to connect the inverter into the panel I have solar panels connected proper way and then the inverter wanna connect it to the panel we have no light. New track no light for 3 months
Can you please show to connect those wire and what i need to buy. I had ruined three alternators already. I don’t know to connected them and i had burn out several esc
I have so many questions because I have the same alternator but I don't understand what your saying so I guess for the dummy in the back of the room being myself can you tell me what wires I'm using out of the 6 wires
Hello, i have an alternator very similar to yours with 6 wires, but i cant figure out how to connect the wires to wire it to an esc, because physically there are 3 groups of 2 wires, BUT 2 pairs of 3 wires each that have continuity with eachother. Totally throws me off. I dont care if its delta or y for now just trying to figure out which end is which.
Hey howdy. Did you ever get a response to this? I have the same situation and not sure how to proceed and I don’t know what would happen if I took the risk.
@@IdowuAsumah yes actually I did. Theres something called dual voltage motor with 6 leads. I dont remember exactly what the details were but there is something called double wye and double delta. I think mine was double wye before i cut the regulator off and once i cut the regulator off I was left with two wye coils? Sorry i dont remember the exact details but look up stator configuration for dual voltage motor i think the 6 leads give you two wye coils then you either wire them in parallel or series depending if you want low or high voltage. Just reply if you want and ill try and figure out more details
The only risk would be possible short circuiting your supply but there is probably some kind of over current protection built into your controller. I think i gave up before figuring out how to connect all 6 windings together so let me know if you figure it out
Question! When your ground and neutral are tied wouldn't you burn up a non sine wave inverter? A non sine wave puts 60v through hot and neutral, and with the ground tied to neutral it would short.
I have an inverter 5KVA 230v pure sine wave inverter I was planning to do what you did thank you , I was going to back feed through a 100A Double Pole Breaker and use a transformer Seimans MT0100A 220-240v in & 110-120v out ! Only for when the grid is down ! What do you think ?
