first of all, Hello everyone , I found this forum on an youtube video suggestion.
I think that this community might contain the information I am looking for.
I have a gasoline generator in my camping van, its a 3000w very silent one and it has done well for almost 10years.
The Generator needs replacement and a friend told me about switching to a battery pack, and even add some solar panels to help in a long camping duration.
This is very appealing, to charge at home, them camping with total silence, so I am considering it.
Now the guidelines for handling refueling, the fuel container locations, type and sizes, size of extinguisher, fire containment , generator placement and general electrical safety are very clear, in fact my local fire station had all the information for it readily available. I do not need information on the battery pack or installation, I need information about these guidelines:
- battery and electronics with wireless monitoring are in plastic container with about 250cm x 600cm x 200cm, from them only two cables with DC 24v comes out, inverter will be inside camping van, camping van has no electrical connection to the car(except running lights).
- what type of metal container, dimensions and venting should the plastic container be inside of?
- general guidelines on exterior DC safety switch/cutoff , models approved for exposure to weather/sun, commercial links ? SOLVED MARINE TYPE
- what type of vibration insulator is recommended, what hardness.
- what type of fire suppression should be inside the container
- what type of fire extinguisher should be used
- any videos with people with these systems
- any videos/articles with firefighters suggestions
- any country official guidelines
Its easy to spot that English is not my first language, I will try to be careful about writing and reading
edit : cutoff switch questions is solved.
