@Dustin LaBorde - I'm not a sailor (tried, too expensive), but a comm systems nerd. A favorite part of my job was entering a facility that had zero documentation, and walking out only after rendering an all-inclusive drawing with pics of sweeet cable-qron to show the boss. I can imagine Brian's full-blown schem is nice. Poor Brady. So lost.
@@rebranch74 He shows that he sails and scubas, no doubt there, but preventive or explorative maintenance... eek... you heard his questions... eek. Blue seemed more proficient, and she's new (a year or two IS new).
Beautifully done ! You managed to explain a multifaceted system in a way that anyone can understand. If you ever get bored with sailing , you should consider teaching. Well done . Fredb
This was great information. I am restoring a 43 year old Alden 44 that currently has 8 lead acid batteries and a propane stove. I will tackling the systems late next summer which makes your first year review awesome. Thanks for taking the time to educate us on what works for you. Cheers!
I am tipping my hat.... I am a tech of 40 yrs and you have done a steller job in choices design and implementing and educating your crew and the rest of us out here in gootube land I am a fellow sailor and we know about constant failure of something so redundancy and understanding your system is paramount in safety and security of all the precious humans aboard ...well done Brian one of those few educated people that did not waste their time going to school.
This was great! Brian you have a great understanding of your system. The depth of your understanding electrical shows in your ability to help ones who don't understand, to not feel stupid but enlightened. Thnak you.
The electrical engineer in his old habitat...Very cool. I love the tech corner videos!. You did a great job breaking down the complex and making it fairly simple. Thanks Brian!
As a control Electrician 47 Years and a Sailor And meeting you guys in Annapolis I can't believe that you can always learn something great diagram and layout. Fantastic and simply explained. Love it!
The drawing you made is what we call a "1 line" drawing. We use them a lot as electricians and engineers. Helps greatly when explaining how a system works without getting down to the nitty gritty of the wiring and controls.
Outstanding job, Brian. If you hadn't had a career in E.E., you should have been a teacher. You do it so well yet you and the student are so "at ease". Just the "schematic", I'd call it more of a Block Diagram, answered the my questions that have intrigued me since you did the work. I really look forward to the rest of the series and hope you will do one on the complete plumbing system as well. All-A-Taut-O sdh T.A."67 in CT
Just fabulous !! OMG, you have 24 pages of questions and 1 took the whole 20-min. This is gonna take a while. What a great learning lesson. tanks, S/v DELOS and crew !!
The SV Delos videos are beautifully assembled, whether ad-libbing a technical schematic or scripting a pre-produced package. I've been in the video production business for 45 years and sailing only 2, and I enjoy watching the SV Delos Channel on TH-cam more than most television network produced shows. I also enjoy all your Instagram posts. Thank you.
I really enjoy these kind of videos I was in maintenance for 30 before I got sick and had to retire. I have always liked seeing how things work and trying to understand systems process. I am more of a mechanical and welding and pipe fitting I have just enough training on electrical systems to let me know to leave the electrical work to the experts like Brian but it is always good to have an over view encase of emergency. Once again great video and I will see you the next time.
HUGE respect to Brian for knowing how all this stuff works. You are one smart cookie, sir. "Does that make sense to everybody so far?" Well, no, I have NO understanding of electrical systems and can only just recognise the difference between volts and current; but you make the functions of the various units clear, and it's great that someone does understand. I hope that Troy, on Free Range Sailing (next best sailing channel after this one, IMHO) gets to see this, because they are talking about getting a larger boat and going around the world, instead of just sailing the Australian coast.
Thank you for such an informative video, as a sailor and an Electrical Engineer I do understand the complexity of multiple power systems to safely run our sailboats. As an engineer working in micro electronics built for space science applications I also understand the difficulty of trying to explain what I do for work. I feel the pain of both sides of understanding and accurately explaining electronics.
As a fellow sailor I really enjoy the Tech Videos, our electrical system is developing, as our needs change. Your explanations are understandable and helpful. Thank you!
Great general overview. The Amel owner’s manual shows wiring schemes, but for those of us who aren’t electrical engineers this was a perfect video. Well done.
Brian most engineers are nook smart but no common sense. You sir have both and can explain terms in the simplest form so all others can understand what is being talked about. It is a great gift you have.
Perhaps some won't be fond of the tech side of things, but it's a skill and and knowledge that is mandatory to learn if one is to be self-sustaining. Really nice job at showing a well organized overview. Brian is correct in that there's more to it than that, but it's a good start to explain a complex system that makes it all possible.
Hi Delos! I always believed electrical systems were much more complicated than the mechanical ones. However this video really got me to understand the core logic of an ideal electrical system on a boat. Thank you all for these technical videos. Be safe, keep rocking and rolling!
Liking the subtext: "I've taken care of everything but we've got to go have a baby. Here's how it works. DON'T KILL MY BOAT." Seriously, enjoy beers and waterfalls etc. but a treat to see details on how you've set up, run and improved Delos. The boatload of responsible seamanship behind all those dolphins and sunsets is a huge draw for a lot of us.
As a Jeep owner this does not apply to my needs. No sign of me ever having to apply this in my adventures. However, it is extremely interesting, and as usual, very well presented. Thanks Brian and crew for the great video and electrical education . Fair winds and following seas, wherever you may be right now.
That was helpful. I am rehabbing an older sailboat left unloved for many years and I am presently redoing wiring, lights, and instruments. Keep 'em coming.
I just purchased an Island Packet 420 and am a bit overwhelmed by the wind/solar/generator etc. Previous owners sailed around the world and did a very thoughtful installation. Your video calmed my nerves a bit as I followed the overall flow of your system, similar to mine in many respects (except that 220v stuff). Thank you for the great video - keep them coming.
It is fun to watch the electrical engineer come out. You love sailing and are a very good teacher but your passion really is electricity. It is very rare to find a Double E that can speak to common people and not be talking down or making fun of our lack of knowledge. When you get into the teaching zone, whether sailing or electrical your eyes just light up and your voice changes. You are in the zone. Thank you
I don’t think Brian is an EE. He’s a CS guy. But you wouldn’t know he isn’t an EE by listening to him. He has a pretty good handle on how it all works.
If you can explain a complicated thing to a five year old, then you truly understand it. Well done Bryan, my 5 year old self knows how your boat works.
Despite being electrically challenged I found this video description of a sail boat system very clear and applicable to a house system. These days houses are likely to have multiple inputs and outputs. Excellent description.
This is a fantastic video. Love the way you broke it down into the section. Keep up the great work Brian and Karen. My ultimate dream is to move away from this winter province of Manitoba, Canada and to sail the world. Your videos keep my dreams alive.
Thanks for the simplified schematic. I took a 6 week course (180 hours) called Basic Electricity & Electronics so everything you said made sense. I really like the redundancy you built in, very smart when hundreds of miles offshore or even in some ports with limited or expensive parts/shipping.
I'm not a boat person but love the technical aspect of your videos. The maintenance videos I have watched several times and are very intriguing and educational. Thanks for doing this!
I am so glad you made this video. Whether it be on a boat or a cabin in the woods, sustainability starts and ends with your knowledge of the world around you.
Yes! I LOVE these types of videos. In fact, I really enjoyed the clarity of this one, you broke the schematic down perfectly. Very understandable and I like how you did the system as a whole. Very smart.
@@svdelos And from someone who just spent the day crawling around following pipe (same concept as electrical when you think of it) I will say that having a schematic like this can be invaluable for someone not as intimately familiar with the components as you are. Well done. do you see any value of doing one up for the switches and fuses?
This is so useful !!. Thanks from the hart. Becoming a Sailor, i can short track so many questions by looking over your shoulder. This is like a online sailing and diving course. It docent come any better. Thank you for sharing. Happy winds for all Delos crew / Alan from Copenhagen :-)
I think it would be a great start to ANY boat owner to at least have that same high level understanding of the power system(s) on their vessels. As an engineer in the USCG, all new engineers were required to draw these to prove they understood the systems they were responsible for, I still follow this method today with my house AND my boat.
RAD!!! We are about to upgrade from our now 6yr old AGM to lithionics and just did our wiring diagram. Great job making it easy to follow and understand. Even though everyone's will be different you did such a great job highlighting some important points, protection, redundancy, separation. Even though we are on our third yr cruising we still watch every time we get WiFi
Very good and thanks to the gals for helping with the schematic it was very understandable. I have a motorhome set up very similar but never could explain to others how it all works. You did a great job.
As someone that has been completely inundated with learning marine mechanics & electronics.....I greatly appreciated these videos. Thanks for posting them. And once again, congratulations on the new addition!
This is so helpful. We are getting ready to "off-grid" our Beneteau 473 once we are in Florida in a couple of weeks and after our arch is fabricated. This video really helps me to understand what equipment we will be considering and especially to converse with the professionals that will help us install it all. Thanks guys!
Keep the technical and maintenance videos coming. Super interesting and shows exactly what it takes to keep your floating home working. I learn a lot; Brian is a very smart and self-sufficient man!
I enjoy all the videos but this one I really enjoyed the most and understand more about how and what is needed for the electrical system and why it is good to have all these backups onboard. I can see how some cruisers wouldn't need that many different devices for power and why you guys clearly do need it. Thank you for sharing.
Really well done Brian, you should have been a teacher! The question is how are you finding time with a new baby! You're going to be great parents, you got this!
Yep Brian, keep them coming. As an owner of an older boat this is great information for me and I really appreciate also hearing about the technical side of things. I wrestle over some of the same design decisions, so it is always great to hear and get a good understanding of what others have done with the electrical design of their boats.
I have always sailed small one design boats with a dream of upgrading to a cruiser, engines and electrical are the scary unknown. These videos make a good starting point to jump into the subjects.
Many thanks Brian & Co for this clear and understandable presentation! Have taken notes first, had a second look of the video and sketched down this basic diagram. Great job!
Nice schematic. Well laid out and well explained. You made it very easy to understand. I'm sure this will be helpful to others if they are planning a system upgrade.
I love the video. I would personally sit and ask questions and listen to Brian talk for hours. I have the same interest as him I feel. But he has a few years on me in developing the knowledge base(the IQ difference might be a thing too). Thanks a lot for the videos, I'm using every bit of information to store in my head and put it to good use somewhere in the future. I wouldn't mind even more technical videos, but my girlfriend was on the verge of losing interest, so I guess it needs balance.
Tech porn, SV Delos style! Love it! In all seriousness, this kind of stuff is critical information for live-aboard sailors. Much appreciated! Every boat should have laminated, single line diagrams, panel schedules, wiring info, etc. Great way to educate the whole crew on how the boat works and what to do when the captain is not available to make decisions when systems fail. Sailors always talk about system redundancies, but rarely discuss the importance of knowledge redundancy within the crew.

This is superiour information which you cannot get somewhere else in that quality and for free. Thanks so much!
Your system seems to protect you from multiple failures of redundant systems. Well done Brian.
Just when we thought you were busy having a baby . . .. . great video. You always can simplify the explanation of your systems. Good work Brian.
Perfectly explained Brian. It's a huge part of the appeal of Delos that even the technical side of sailing is entertaining.
Brian most engineers are nook smart but no common sense. You sir have both and can explain terms in the simplest form so all others can understand what is being talked about. It is a great gift you have.
Wonderful - Nigel Calder and Ben Ellison would be proud of this - keep them coming - the rest of us can use bits of this on our own boats
The technical side of operating the boat is awesome thanks for sharing.
As a want-to-be sailer, I love the technical videos. The more I can learn from you now, the less I will need to learn later when I get my own boat.
Many thanks for taking the time to go through this side of sailing / boat ownership ,it’s a great help for someone new to owning their first boat (me)

Please continue these kinds of episodes!
It's highly instructive and hands-on. I like it!
I'm going to cruise myself and this is very usefull.

Great explanation of your electrical system. DC, AC, 12V, 24V, 220V. Very informative !
Is it just me or is Brian’s voice the most soothing thing you’ve ever heard?. Dude, you need to narrate e books.
Very nice presentation. Perfect organizational schematic. Far more interesting than appliances wiring.
As an old electrician and computer tech, this was very informative. Great video.
Even for someone not electrically inclined, that was very well explained and easy to follow. Thank you for helping to demystify the angry pixies!

this video was outstanding!!!!? clear and concise and the schematic was super helpful. please keep these videos coming. your efforts are appreciated.
Great vid, Brian. When you explain a system and its components, you're focused and edited which makes it easy to understand. You're a good teacher!
Great video. Simple way to explain complex system to non-EE's
Great video! Really explained a lot to someone with limited electrical systems knowledge. Keep it up!
Outstanding explanation delivered in understandable layman's terms! Much appreciated! THANK YOU!!!
I have always sailed small one design boats with a dream of upgrading to a cruiser, engines and electrical are the scary unknown. These videos make a good starting point to jump into the subjects.
As a shipwright, I love the tech videos. so interesting to see you have done your system.
Many thanks Brian & Co for this clear and understandable presentation! Have taken notes first, had a second look of the video and sketched down this basic diagram.
