DC Panel Wiring


William (Roscoe) Tomlin is in the process of a P35 make-over. 
Here in this section he is concentrating on the AC/DC Wiring System.

Check the number of Circuit Breakers out on that panel.

   (These pictures start off just after Roscoe has finished up the ice box update.   He has chosen to mount the AC/DC control panel up and behind the ice box top on the cabinet.)

    
   
 The job of rewiring got under way today and I'll send you what I have done so far.

    The bottom slat partly covers the joint I had to cut to remove the refrig top.   All slats are oak and approx 1" X 1."  These slats are held in place with stainless steel screws.  The top slat had to be fibreglasses in since to is under the deck and toe rail bolts are directly behind it.

    The Circuit Breaker back panel with holes for wires and bus panels.  Positive reference is oriented vertical and ground is oriented as a horizontal connection.

    The panel's are shown mounted on a teak veneer 3/4" plywood front panel.  Holes are laid out for the switches and panels.
     The battery charger/inverter combo with control panel.

Update on 10 Sept 03

     I spent most of the day putting the frame together, getting flat head brass machine screws for mounting the panel and solid brass hinges.  It is completed ready for installation as soon as the back panel is wired.  First photo shows the holes being marked the next completed.

Grounding Bar

                    
           

           

     Shown are the bulkhead ground bus bars. The aft ground wires will be on one side and the foreword goes to the other with the large battery cables going to the 7/16 bolts that holds the unit to the bulkhead.  Drilling both bars at the same time.  1/2" space between the #25 holes.  Turning the 7/16 brass bolts from 5/8 hex stock.  The completed unit

     I also made the nuts but didn't take any photos of that. I'm also going to make a pare for neutral will show the making of the nuts then.
