How To: New Wire-5 project (Bergeron)

[Robert Bergeron]

Coming along just nicely . One battery connected . 110 Volts outlet connected to the Onan power generator . Charging / starting cables to the Onan generator battery installed right up to the generator .

Now for the generator and battery charging control panel box . I should be doing a first Onan generator start in the box for the first time sometime later this week .

Good afternoon / evening / night / morning wherever you are . I finished the complete wiring to the generator control panel today . I now need to look at the wiring diagram to see what goes where behind the control panel .Lastly , i had found an original brass warning plate last summer in Alberta . «caution 110 V 60 Hertz AC only «* . Neet original part that sees use / neccesity only in the Onan equiped version of this 1944 box meant to carry the Canadian No 19HP set or the No 52 set.

Today i did the wiring to the battery boxes and the control panel . 1/2 inch flexible conduits . Everything is painted and good to go on that end . Now i have to con’ect the correct wires to the correct poles behind the control panel ..

Everything goes in the generator compartment . That’s going to be my next challenge : Connect every wire from the generators to the switches on the outside wall of the compartment .If you look to the right of the picture we see these switches . One for 110 V from the Onan and the other two for 12 V 300 watts from the Chorehorses .

Thank you Bob for the good words . Do you know where there is another one ?? Just kidding . Today i installed those pesky little shelves in the box with the tin’erman hooks for straps. The shelves are so flimsy only very light objects can be stored on them . More pictures to follow tomorrow .
