Tripp Lite 3000 Watt Inverter Install On My Truck | SHOCKING RESULTS!
Hey everyone! In this video, I install a 3000 watt Tripp Lite inverter into one of my 2021 Freightliner Cascadia trucks. I had installed another inverter on another one of my trucks a couple months ago, and thought it might be helpful and fun to share the install with the RU-vid community! I hope it helps! Enjoy 😊

That’s a spot-on demonstration of installing an inverter. I did mine the exact same way, on my very first Freightliner FLD120, about 25 years ago when inverters started to really take off, as opposed to generators. I used mine to power my fridge, tv/vcr, satellite dish receiver, and microwave. There was a time in trucking when there were no such built in amenities in trucking. They have certainly come a long way in the ten years since I retired, but channels like yours keep me interested and “involved” in trucking. Keep up the enthusiasm and great work!

@cdinnetz 2 года назад

Great video! One suggestion for the future... When connecting to the batteries, the connectors are "across" a single battery and this will cause additional stress or discharge from that single battery. If you connect the positive at one end and the negative at the other, you basically pull power across the whole array more effeciently. :-)

@msyonta 2 года назад

Wait… sooo you can connect the inverter to any battery as long as it pos to pos/ neg to neg, and it will not go kaboom… well hell I guess that makes perfect sense being that all of the wires are connected to each other… 🤯🤯🤯 Thank you for the clarity!!!

@cdinnetz 2 года назад

@@jourd543 I’m sorry. You are incorrect. We are not talking about series or parallel wiring here. It’s about load. If you connect your terminals onto the same end it will draw more current from that battery vs taking the load across the whole array. Please. Make sure you know what you are talking about before you post your nonsense.

@8L4ck0vv1 3 года назад

Hi Shelby you done a great job, but want to highlight couple of suggestions which will help you in long run: 1- The chopping of the lugs on the battery leads to make the termination for the inverter side is not recommended. Instead you should have used pin-type lugs in order to protect the soft strands of the battery cables. Direct termination is good for first time only, but the second time a good percentage of the strands will get crushed and damaged due to the terminal bolt pressure. 2. In your next truck get all the battery cables prewired upto a terminal box fitted near the inverter so you need a small jumper cable between the terminal box and the inverter terminal. It will be very easy to install as well as dismantling in case of any maintenance. Otherwise i have thoroughly enjoyed the video and your expertise in doing all the fit out. 👍👍👍

@RoadWarrior77 3 года назад

For future reference, with those big 0 guage wires, when you expose all the strands of wire to stuff into the inverter, it is a good idea to tin the strands together. Heat the strands up with a micro torch and melt some solder into them. It will keep all the strands together and provide a better conductor to the inverter plug. You can do it with the shore power wires as well, if you want to. The reason I'm telling you this is those individual strands will break over time through vibration, and eventually the wires will come off. If they are tinned together, they act as one big solid wire that won't break. I've been working on this type of stuff for probably 25 years now.

Horrible idea never tin wires Into a crimp termination! Extra resistance, fire hazard, and breakage can occur! Crimp the lugs with a die crimper. 25 bucks on amazon will buy you a crimp tool that goes up 4 aught! Thats four sizes under zero gauge! Please crimp.

I like how much you care about people. I'm sure through the years you will learn some hard lessons and meet a few weirdos. Remember it will be those times that teach you and will build character. When you start getting frustrated take it back to the beginning. Watch your starting out videos again and again. I was a bus driver for 20 years. When I started getting frustrated a little voice in my head would say, take it back to the beginning, where you started. You are an amazing role model to both men and women. Keep filming and posting!

So if you're looking to save some money and you want to use equipment that you probably already have on hand, glad hand seals for grommets.

Love your channel, But i would use 100 ohm 100 watt resistor on the ground terminal between the inverter and the wire, which will slowly charge the capacitor's, they can blow with a huge inrush current. Also using ferrules on the wires, will help keep them together. Also She is using true OFC wire, ( Oxygen Free Copper) Instead of CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum ), CCA is not idea and can over heat and cause a fire.

@Iron *Fe* 393.95 Only covers rating, labeling, visual indicators, accessibility, type of agent and secure mounting. Nothing about heat source. Generally the caution about heat source is relevant when the extinguisher is automatic such as a kitchen vent hood or engine compartment in a marine application. You don't want it going off when you are cooking steaks or steaming hard against a current. There is no way a manual extinguisher can go off when it's in its holder.

@johnschubert4665 3 года назад

@Iron *Fe* They do give off heat, and you are right the air flow is the key. RV’s have this problem all the time. In a RV the incoming 120v is converted to 12v. . It’s called a “converter” and it is an inverter in reverse. They deal with 30A and 50A 120v and are rated 3,600w and 6,000w and above. Inverters and converters have heat and load sensors that shut the unit down until the adverse condition is corrected. This is usually automatic and the unit comes back online by itself. I would have a second fire 🔥 extinguisher in a different location in case you had a problem with the inverter or wiring in that compartment.

Its nice to see a driver that can actually work on their own truck. I would put in a smaller (2000 - 2400) watt pure sin wave inverter. A pure sine wave inverter costs a little more, but it is more efficient. You will usually hear a buzz from your microwave on a modified sine wave inverter that you won't hear on a pure sine wave inverter or when it is plugged into house current. The microwave will also heat up food about 20% faster on a pure sine wave inverter. Your electric motors will also run better (vacuum, etc.). When tightening stranded wire, go back after a few minutes and retighten them. They will often relax a little and you can get another quarter turn or so. Also make sure their is no wire insulation under any terminals when installing. That can eventually cause a short and potential fire.

It's called stranded wire - and with that really flexible wire it will work itself loose with a little vibration- I have built electrical stuff all my life and am a retired master electrician and can tell you that you should tin those wires before putting them under those lugs - to tin them you melt solder into a metal cup of some kind - like a metal pipe cap or a copper pipe cup - melt the solder into the cup until its deep enough - then dip the big wires into the solder ...

Just a little advice, you may have to put a larger alternator with a higher output in, if you start putting a heavy load on the inverter the batteries won't keep up and you will using more power than your creating.

If you had an electrician friend, it would make your job so much easier and safer. Poorly installed electrical connections are a huge fire hazard issue. If your insurance provider finds out your work is not done to standard by a qualified person, it could result in no insurance coverage in case of a fire. Make sure you tighten the strain relief screws on the 120v plug that you installed. Just rotate it so the screw heads are facing up then it’s easier to tighten then and the long ends of the screws are pointing down and won’t hook in anything, like your arm when you are reaching in. Make sure the cooling vent holes are not obstructed so the inverter does not overheat. Not being negative, you did your best, just sharing some valuable info.

The shore power is also used to charge your batteries. If you run a generator and not a apu you plug the generator into the shore power socket and keep yer batteries good to start up in the morning.

✊👍Good job, having installed many inverters if you have not I’d recommend fitting a isolator switch just in case you start to get any leakage from the inverter plus it makes for a safer insatiable Secondly watch the battery drain when using, it’s easy in winter Night heater running, Cooking & few cups of coffee can I state can flatten your Battery’s. Fantastic, interesting & I wish you luck 🍀 ✊🍀👍
