Should always stick with black for hot and white for neutral on AC power and black for negative and red for positive on DC always use green for chassis or earth ground. It saves a lot of confusion you could use white for both neutral AC and negative DC and black for hot AC and Red for positive on DC to eliminate all confusion and no confusing ac and dc power. When you you ate dealing with AC residential you are dealing with black and red for hots with 220 power and white neutral and bare copper or green for ground.
Yeah, it really confused me too initially... This video really does a disservice to other novices... Just stupid.
Thank you so much , i have the same panel and was completely clueless about how to hook it up, but now you made it very clear. Great video and thanks again
Outstanding! I'm building a shed and I'm powering it via solar. This video is going to help me immensely! Thanks for sharing.
This is extremely useful. Thank you for making the detailed video. Really appreciate it.
Thank you Vu Nguyen for watching and for your support. Please consider subscribing if you found the content useful. Thank you.
Thanks, that was super useful! Especially the part about the wires for the outlet on back of the panel. I was confused about what it was for but good to know that it’s an optional feature
Thank you Doing life with you. I am glad it was able to be useful to you in some way. Thank you for watching and for your support. Please consider subscribing if you found the content useful. Thanks.
you really should have the black 12v wire be the pos. so they match inside the panel. So all neutrals and grounds are the same color.
Thank you so much for all the details you included! 😊
Hi Erica, thank you so much for watching and for your support and your kind words. Please consider subscribing if you found the content useful. Thank you.
this is the one I will be using, thanks. although i understand electronics, it is always good to learn from youtube academy 😀
Best explanation i've seen. Thanks so much!
Ah thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad it could help. Take care C&S Skoolie Project. I am going to check your channel out as well. Thanks.
This is amazing. Thank you!
THANK YOU for making a video with this install. I’ll be purchasing this for my system. It’s such a clean combo. Also, now I know what the single/double pole differences are! Was so confused...... 😅
Arg, it’s out of stock. This 30 amp model seems similar: www.amazon.com/dp/B019QH5SE0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_GH6SXJ73S8Z65KKN5J1G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you very much for watching. Glad it could help in some way to make your install easier. Take care.
@@keezer4346 Awe, I did not realize it was out of stock. I looked up the one you linked here and yes it will work just fine. Looks very similar. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching.
@@thinkfreelivefree6951 thanks!
Great detailed video 👍🏽👍🏽
Yes! Thank you! 🙏
Hi. Thank you Ross for watching and for your support. Hope it was helpful in some small way. Please consider subscribing if you found the content useful. Thanks.
very helful just what I wanted to know thank you
Thanks so much!
I’ve been looking for this video for a long time - thank you! What gauge wire did you use for the AC side that go directly to the appliances?
Why would I use a 15 amp circuit rather than a 20 amp circuit? Seems to make more sense to just use 20 amp for all 120 volt side. Please explain. Thanks
where is the Main power for the 30 AP . breaker coming from ???
Thanks for the video. I'm just curious how you like the 24v system. I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Do you get any phantom drain from dropping the voltage down to 12v when not in use?
What size wire from your inverter to the panel?
Thank you for the great info. Where is the 30amp power cord coming into the unit from? That would be Shore Power in a camper correct? Is that what you have in your van set up?
Where do I put the black wire that is already installed to the distribution panel for the 120v side?
Can you use a double pole 30 amp breaker to power both sides of that bar?
thanks for info, question, the cable coming for the inverter to the box have to be 10/3 gauge? am wandering is that the reason why doesnt work my 120 v sistem, {right now I installed a 12/3 gauge coming for the inverter to the panel, connecting with the main brakers.
I feel like I should point out this is not ok for use inside a boat. All wiring should have heat shrink terminals.
so you have white cable on pos and neg, I call that BS
POS needs to be red
He should really take the video down... It is sad that a person like this is putting a video like this to confuse people, or worse yet, put them in danger.
I ordered this a while ago and now that im going to install it I notice there are 15 positive connections on DC but only 12 negative? Am I missing something here? I need them all
Hi Andrew, you can double up on the negative connections your missing. Should be fine. Not sure why there are only 12. Thank you for watching and for your support. Please consider subscribing if you found the content useful. Thanks.
Not all postive wirers come in red colour.
Not all postive wirers come in red colour. 😂
Ur confusing people,,, the first breaker u installed is 30 amp in, not out..
where is your shore power line?
EXACTLY my question too!
You should really take the video down... you have a white cable on the positive and a black cable on the negative. Positive needs to be red. Or at least put a red heat shrink insulation or label accordingly. It is sad that a person like you is putting a video like this to confuse people, or worse yet, put them in danger.
