Joe Chipman continues to work on the Hermit DeLuxe and is giving us an update on the electrical. He has taken lots of great pictures to help you learn. Be sure and check out the electrical diagrams at the bottom of the post. This information will be included in the next update of the Hermit DeLuxe plans. I’ll let Joe take over and explain what he is doing.
I have been working right along as time and building funds would allow. So far I have the high voltage wiring complete and a good start on the low voltage. I have the 30a 240vac and 20a 120vac weather proof electrical connection mounted exterior rear of the Hermit DeLuxe with a 20a 120vac 100ft extension cord plugged in to the grid. The 30a 240vac electrical connection comes from the exterior junction box and goes to the main 240vac panel in the front of Hermit DeLuxe. The 20a 120ac electrical connection comes from the exterior box and goes to the inverter switching box tied though for now and to the main 240vac panel, and with the transfer switch the main 240vac electrical panel can be feed by the 30a 240vac feed or the 20a 120vac feed. Keep in mind the 20a 120vac feed can be grid or the inverter when finished.
The four 15a 120vac electrical curcuits wired out of the main 240vac panel, #1 main lighting and upper bunk receptacles, #2 Desk receptacles and lighting, #3 Kitchen receptacles, #4 Ref receptacle and rangehood. Main lighting includes main light switched from exterior door, kicthen sink and main bunk, sink light switched from kitchen sink, kitchen undercounter lights switched from kitchen sink, bathroom light and exhaust fan switched from front wall next to bathroom, undercounter light switched from workbench left side, workbench receptacles, upper bunk receptacles, upeer bunk light switched from ceiling next to exhaust fan, exterior light over exterior door switched at exterior door, exterior gfci receptacle next to exterior door. Desk circuit includes (7) desk receptacles, exhaust fan and lighting system above desk switched right of desk window, receptacle right of main bunk window half switched at main bunk. Kitchen circuit includes (2) above counter kitchen receptacles. Ref circuit includes receptacle for ref and a wire out for the rangehood.
