You need to draw a schematic. The wiring is definitely atypical and your answers do not provide sufficient information to understand it.
Amended thanksI'd be careful making simple statements like that, there could be all sorts going on, on a boat of this vintage that's been modified over the years.
Hello Tarona What is a SHUNT is that a splitter? Your text the shunt is fitted between the house negative terminal and the cable as it measures all the loads going out to provide the data for your monitor. The Solar company suggested a trickle charge from the Domestic to the Starter batters maybe around 1 or 2 amps Salesman says it may take approx 2-3 days to chargeHello Tarona Oops I forgot your Question.
BOW THRUSTER Powered By the Domestic Batteries THAT IS the GREEN cable runs from Domestic Batteries through the boat to the BOW where is connects to a Battery and Battery Charger. The Green Cable is Only used to Charge the Battery in the Bow.
It was installed 2017 In Torreveja as the old one Corroded off.. The Mechanic that installed the New one Did not provide enough Power he installed 2 x 15mm Cable It blew the 500amp fuse a few times - So in PALMA a Company installed a Battery and Battery charger in the BOW
WINDLASS I have only ever used the Anchor Once.
YES it draws a lot of Energy I kept the Engine Running The Battery charger 9Sterling Power then works overtime)
May I respectfully suggest that you purchase a few books on basic DC/boat electrics and take time to read up on the topic.What is a SHUNT is that a splitter?
I'm confused.Hello Jac.
As I am not an Electrician, so I am a Belt & Braces kind of guy. So I prefer tp be Overkill so as Not to casue any damage to the System.. Health & Safety Etc..
I spke to the Company who are selling me the Victron 30amp Charge controllers.. They say " YOU SHOULD BE EQUAL TO YOUR CHARGE CONTROLLERS"
THE SMALLEST WIRE WILL PROBABLY be 6mm
The Largest will be the Cable " I have been told 60mm Sq" That is about 15mm dia (Large) that is from the Domestic battery bank to the Starter Battery bank 2.3metres away VIA a CYRIX system. THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD.
PANELS TO PANELS WILL BE IN THE AFT SECTION - Joined together with 2 Cables coming around to the front area through a Entry protection cover. CABLE LENGTH 6mm x 12metres to charge controller or Switch - The Bow area same setup Flexible panels linked together and then 2 cables going through Plywood - then into an Entry Cover
2.00 x Dual Cable Entry Cover Low Profile (White)
Then Down to the Switches I hope to obtain.. ----- Then Down to MPPT 30 amp x 2 other equipment to come off this is BMV712 - a CERBO and a GX Display - Also a CYRIX connection from Domestic to Starter battery - and a Battery Masters from Domestic to Generator Battery.. There is a Bow thruster - this has it's own Battery Charger and i believe this is fed by the Large Green Cable which is only used for charging the DC battery charger. in the bow
