Upgrades and splices, relocations

[Captain Morgan]

Shazbot I can't edit post #20 . . .

Technically what I need to do is connect those AC sources to the appropriate breaker boxes, and from the breakers to the Quattro. I still have some white romex I can use and label.

Logistically then the breaker boxes need to be very close, maybe on that right-side angled wall. Or on a board facing upwards.

I am not sure on motorhomes and trailers with inverter and batteries. I have worked with traffic signals with battery back up. Traffic signal is all electronic and with LED bulbs, pulls 3-4 amps depends on the intersection. Batteries last about 5-6 hours. It has 4/12 volt batteries gel cells. They are replaced about every 4-5 years. We did load test yearly to check them. Cost was $275 each. Very expensive for the little bit of power.

That's very interesting! I assume that powers those "inductive current sensor thingies" in the road at the intersections too?


I have Telco in my background. The "most serious" battery setup I've ever seen has been at a main hub/CO. The battery room in Denver looked to be the size of a large house with racks and racks and racks of huge, expensive batteries.


I can only imagine what a site like 60 Hudson St, in NYC would have.

Please don't derail this thread with non related commentary, thank you. Feel free to open a new thread on "Who gives a sh*t about traffic signals", that would be great.

Your thread, your rules - mostly.
But lighten up Captain.
It's the internet.
