  my plan : Depending on the car ,i have a petrol car ( with injection ) and a feulpump seems to me that you can put that ( feulpump) positive as a signal to pin H on the victron 12 12 30 in my case ,just to start/stop the victron dc dc charger it stop instantly ,and startup with a (configurable) delay 120sec ?. ( maybe i use a micro relais and a stable12 volt souce in between to keep the dirty ? feulpump output signal clean from pin H ) My bms/ebs sensor on the car batery dislike the ongoing pull down from the victron dc dc till it is shut Off deu to voltage drop the state charge state differs from ignition off memory in the car ecu and my start stop system is affected by it /less active. in my first setup i do have a battery charger 1amp too ,and did make a switch on the gray connector (bridge) on my victron dc dc 12 12 30 and use that to switch off the victron dc dc and charge my car battery on the camping with no isseu ,only to remember to switch on before the ride 🤔 just my 2cents 😇

  I usually just insert the wire and have a bit of the insulation exposed and heat it up and feed solder until it's full, then heat shrink the end after cleaning the end that has melted slightly. I might try your method and see how it goes. Once done it's a nice clean finish and heat shrink goes from the round part of the lug and down the cable past the heat affected bit, the end result I have found is tight and I have never had a problem with any that I have done, infact the Anderson plug that connect to my ute for charging the caravan has to be redone as it was there when I bought it as it is crimped and corroded with loose strands, where the ones I made for the solar panels is strong

  I think because you increased the volume of the exhaust it slowed everything down. Air is funny, sharp angles will decrease velocity. Slowing down brakes and such. But since pressure is equal in all directions, more volume equates to increased time.

  As an Electrician, there is a reason we have to get our crimpers calibrated, and yes even the red, blue and yellow pre-insulated crimpers when we are building mining and gas and oil equipment. My guess would be that the crimper used didn't compress the strands in almost one solid mass. Cabac have a good handful of pages in their product manual showing over/correct/under compressed lugs. It is worth a look for those who are interested.

• 
  @LockyourHubs4WDing19 күн бұрын

  Those results, don't forget were an average of three tests, for all the tests. While the possibility of consistently incorrect results for all of the tests is a possibility, it's not probable. I'm happy to be proven wrong or otherwise. And encourage others to replicate the test, to see if they're independently repeatable or not. I'm still going to have a look at vibration resistance, with and without heat shrink. I've been told by all and sundry that crimped terminations resistance was less, now have experimental data proving that to be false. I'll be looking at the next wives tale.

  @@LockyourHubs4WDing Have a google for Cabac Crimping Guide and either find the PDF that says the Right Tool for The Right Lug for the Right Connection, or around page 17 or 27 or something like that for the same info. Cabac also have some videos of good compression in the joints. I have been running 7 strand cable with a crimped and soldered lug on the back of my rally car alternator since the late 80s, and it has been through multiple engine changes, alternator changes, tens of thousands of punishing vibrations, and the sort of thumps that break engine mounts. I have also done similar with 4wd wiring. I don't recommend it to others, but I would like to think I knew what I was doing as an apprentice, yeah ok I guessed back then, and since then I should know what to look for with damage and wear and tear. I did make a 32mm pig tail style of coils to absorb the vibrations and they have held up on every vehicle I've punished. lol

  @@LockyourHubs4WDing From the way you did the tests, I'm guessing you already know of a Ductor. When we were testing HV the 100 and 200 Amp Ductors would get down to single digit micro ohm readings on crimp joints but we used Alminox Paste on the aluminium cables, which has sharp aluminium particles in it to cut through the tarnish. Copper needs the copper paste type that I have forgotten the name of, but we could use a Nickel paste and that was better than the silver paste for heat and corrosion in some instances. I hope I'm not mentioning things you already know, but if so, maybe the people reading along can get something from it.

While I'm not sponsored (I wish!) I've become a bit of a fan of Victron's gear. The customisation and versatility is unmatched. I'm running a Cerbo GX (their comms hub) on a Raspberry Pi (Venus OS) so can monitor any of the systems parameters anywhere I've got internet. Though, back to the TB, I've been running the 15V stepup for a few years now without issue. Seems to work ok.

  I have a MRF 45 Engel with transit cover, I found as you have that the cover doesn't really make any great difference. However I had some Kingspan under roof insulation which is about 8 to 9 mm thick and about R2 insulation value so I put 2 layers under the Engel not covering the compressor vents and one layer around 3 sides of the fridge box with the transit cover back on. that made considerable difference in time between compressor cycling.
