Connection of the high current output to a caravan mover
The mover control box can be connected directly to the "mover"
output of the PPP. The cable ends must be stripped for 15mm.
Carefully insert all wire strands into the connectors and tighten
the screws. The recommended tightening torque is 2 Nm. Be
careful to insert the wire end completely into the terminal without
clamping the plastic wire insulation, and without leaving strands
out.
Use the cables supplied with the caravan mover kit, or as
recommended by the mover manufacturer. Cable cross sections
of 10mm² to 16mm² are commonly used.
Because of the high currents involved when operating the
mover, a careful installation of the cables is crucial. Improper
connections of the cables can cause loss of performance,
overheating and damage. The Victron PPP is equipped with
high-power terminals that can provide a reliable connection on
fine stranded wire ends. High quality eyelets and specialist
crimping tools are therefore not needed. Solid wire or wires with
thick strands will not provide a proper connection.
Connection of the domestic output
A low power household load, such as LED lights, low power water
pump or a 12V LCD TV can be powered from the "domestic"
output. A properly sized in-line fuse must be connected within
10cm of the positive battery terminal. This is to prevent
overheating/melting of the cables.
A 1,5mm² cable should have a fuse of up to 10A
A 2,5mm² cable must be fused at maximum 16A.
