Hi Guys,
I'm converting a Mercedes Vario 814D bus into our dream camper. I have a question regarding wire sizing for Non-Isolated 24-12 DC Charger.
When sizing cable for the isolated version im assuming you need to account for the entire cable run from Starter Battery to Orion and back to the Starter battery. Which would be around 14m for the bus.
As I am using the Non Isolated version, there is only going to be a positive from Starter Battery to Orion as the ground will be connected to the Lynx Distributor.
How would I size the cable gauge taking this into account?
Also what's the max amps I have to account for when sizing the cable, is it the continuous output current (30A), maximum output current (45A) or the short circuit output current (60A).
The manual states to use a 60A fuse as near to the Starter Battery as possible and also I will be using a 60A fuse where it connects to the Lynx.
Any advise would be great.
Paul
