External 240v hook-up options?
- Thread starter mhill
- Start date
They do 2 types in 12V, 15A and 25A. They also do 24V which I think has the magnets reversed to dissuade wrong plugging.
They are made by Rosenberger and then oem’d by other brands, notably Battery Controller in Italy (for motorbikes mainly) and then by some of the charger manufacturers.
The socket only goes live when the mating plug magnetically snaps on.
£17 for the socket from Amazon
£42 for a premade Victron Powerclip
You can get 2 of these for £7.50 shipping = £22.62, cheaper than these guys are selling a pair of them for on eBay …..
Plenty of other suppliers so you can tease out the best price by mixing and matching …….
I’m going to fit a couple more on the inside of the van for the fridge/cold box and make up a couple of Anderson to Magcode cables - these disconnect when you tug them so less trip hazards and that.
Got the Wylex unit and RCBO's now - what are people using for the cable glands? Nothing came with it and it has zero entry points.
For the enclosure or into the van?
Just for the enclosure
Something like this?

Do you have a diagram of how to wire up the RCB's?
Just been running the cable in from under the bonnet. Ordered a few more bits to finish it off.
Went with a grommet on the drivers side which comes out just above floor level.
And here is what I found behind the battery.

Check this reminder system from @Nige_g :-
To stop you driving away with the pop top up, EHU connected, and one I have done before, Kador strip (still attached to the rail having disconnected from the awning) attach these to the steering wheel and only remove once the item has been dealt with. You can add as many as you need.
