re-inverters

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Rob:
On the bus which I owned before, it had a DD engine, with a gear driven
alternator which produced 320 amps at 24 volts (ok 28.4 volts or so)
When you do the calculation that gives one almost 7.7kw's of power. That is
almost as big as the genny on the SP models and some of the FC models.
That would give you lots of power to operate the AC's plus other stuff if you
wish, and still enough to keep the batteries charged.
As Gardner mentioned, the alternator will feed the inverters first instead of
pulling it from the batteries.
I would love to have a 300 amp 12 volt alternator, then I could run an
airconditioner as well going down the road - ok, I should recharge my engine
driven a/c hehe.

Thought I would throw in my 2cents worth.... We have a totally

electric coach. The former owner of our 85pt36 removed all of the

propane stuff and added a battery bank in it's place.. 4 large truck

batterys wired for 24 volts dc. He then installed 3 2500 heart

inverters in the passeger side compartment, with the matching link 2000

controls in the coach. 1 for each leg of the 220 system, and the 3rd

for a charger. We can switch them around by changing the plugs anyway

we need to,such as in the case one should quit working. On the back

side of the engine, he installed a 24vdc alternator. As I probably

can't explain all of the tech stuff, I can tell you that this

arangement really does work.. We can run both roof airs going down the

road WITHOUT the generator INDEFINATELY. We have a small 4.0 diesel

generator that has 14 hours recorded on it. I start it up now and then

to make sure it will run when we are dry camping and the battery banks

need a charge. I realize that this would be a costly undertaking to do

this kind of conversion, but well worth it. I hate to run that damn

genny. Rob Sargent. 85pt36
