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!
Power your whole panel from 120v inverter, Emergency panel wiring.
How I have wired my 220 volt panel to have both bus bars powered in an emergency situation to have 120v at all my switches and receptacles.

3 phase Alternator Motor Mocked up on Outboard Boat Drive
มุมมอง 1.4K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Alternator outboard 3 phase DIY electric boat part 2. I thought that if I wanted to really push the alternator to see how much power it could make as a brushed DC electromagnetic BLDC type motor, I would be fighting the heat the motor would produce as I ramped up the voltage for speed and current for power. What better way to mitigate the heat than to mount the alternator motor conversion to an...

Update: Thank you all for your orders when we were selling this! I have since closed the fabrication business and don't make these kits anymore. Our new Laser Cut Hydraulic Bender Retrofit Kit. This video shows our kit being installed and used on a JD2 Model 3 Tubing Bender. It works with Model 3, Model 32, and Pro Tools Bender. Visit SAMS-Racing.com for more info!
You can also wire from 110v standard outlet to 220v plug without the ground if 3 plug, "jumping" the 110v into to the 2 prongs for it to cross the phases. It works but disclaimer not an electrician do it at your own risk
My 120v solar generator has a 30a plug, I back feed thru the dryer plug, since the tt30 plug has 2 15 amp hots it energize both leggs, but yea, you got it, just dont over amp your unit
Proactive verses reactive.....install a 30 amp plug ahead of time with an interlock for the breaker box and an adaptor to go from the 120, to a 3 prong then to four prong to plug the house into
thank you for uploading this, made the danger apparent, yet provided information needed to accomplish this safely. i appreciate it!
My 120 30 amp inverter plug has two cables and a ground. Those two cables provides 60+ v. How do I connect it to my. Home panel?
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.
All that would concern me is weather protection for your circuitry. But I'm glad to see people building such. 'Cause my day is comin'.
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
You can’t fix stupid
Please, if you're reading this, install a manual transfer switch or an interlock!
What battery set up would you reccomend for a 50cc pit bike it’s for my four year old so it doesn’t need to be super fast.
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 ?
I KNOW I KNOW IS 2 YEARS OLD , BUT IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THIS ,THANK YOU FOR THE IDEA
ONE WAY TO KNOW WITCH WAY IT SHOULD TURN ,WEATHER CLOCK WISE OR C CLOCKWISE IS TO LOOK AT THE FAN ,THE FAN IS NEVER WRONG
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.
Love this field a lift
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 ???
can you install one for me?
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 !
Very good job
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
What does MWBC mean in regards to an electrical panel box
What does MWBC mean regarding a breaker box
Great job
I cringed when I saw this...
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. 👍🏻
Put a jumper between the hot legs and label the panel clearly. If your generator is feeding it 120v.
Thank you.
I'm kinda doing the same ,but i have a 240v generator hooked up with ainterlock . ?
Thanks
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
This lift cast how many rupees 500 kgs 35 fits high
The lift cost aproximately $1000 USD. The most expensive part was the metal.
How to kill a lineman 101 right here ...
The main is off, so how? Just wondering?
@@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.
@@sashly99 Like he said if you shut the main breaker off, it doesn’t matter just don’t need that stupid piece of metal
@@dw5878 what you shut the main breaker off it doesn’t magically turn itself back on😂😂 the inner lock switch does nothing for that!
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
IT IS RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS !!!! (I am going to do the same thing in an emergency.)
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)
Your video ain't explaining shit it's more confusing than anything ,what a waste of time
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.
How to make it out of phase , I got a SIEMENS MTO100A Transformer 220v in & 2 100v out ! Have not hocked up yet , great job !
Do I have to have a esc controller?
I have a 4 storey building. Would it be possible to build something like this?
Curious what the siding you used on the basket is. (the white siding)
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
Just the advice I was looking for. That's for posting!
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
Do the 220v certainbreakers break if you forget to switch them off?
horribly unsafe
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 ?
