"Project Overkill"-Pt.2- 12KWh 48V Battery Backup! Running Inverter Cables and Doing Load Testing!!

[@herbertwerner2287]

Your video about that electric bike build which I found by accident is one of the best I've seen. But I am a fan now. I love that POW MIA sign. When I don't have work to do I'm going to check out this video and your other ones.

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

Really? I'm surprised 😂 I am glad you found it entertaining and/or useful. The sign is my Father-in-Law's but I have a deep respect for those who are serving and have served our country.

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

I hope you find the other videos entertaining!

[@loganv0410]

Great vid. I especially appreciate the hi-speed segments so I can see how you did some things without spending 40 min to see it all. That was cruel - at 4:55 when you turned on the inverter, my way-out-in-the-country internet connection went into buffering. I thought for a second that you blew something up.

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

Thanks! I try to do timelapses on stuff that may be helpful to people following along or learning. So far no explosions! Hoping to keep a clean record on that one lol. Thanks for watching!

[@DIYSolarEnergy]

Rock and roll man...keep em coming sir!

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

Thanks! I'm having a ton of fun with this build. Makes me want to do more of them for sure!

[@DIYSolarEnergy]

DIY Renewable Energy & Electronics I understand. I’m a new channel myself and I’ve got like 6 videos in the middle of production... but a lot of testing but fun for sure.

[@DIYSolarEnergy]

Which inverter are you using? 3kWh?

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

www.sigineer.com/product/3000-watt-inverter-charger-48-volt-110v-120vac-pure-sine-wave/ Its a cheaper version of the AIMS inverters.

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

I appreciate the work that goes into the production of videos so much more now lol. It's a ton of effort to get this stuff done.

[@offgridlivingstlucia8865]

You do nice work

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

Thank you! I try. Lol

[@_a1001]

Nice man. Definitely overkill with securing the mounting, but I do the same thing 😂

[@KJC2025]

Awesome video! Nothing you said sounds dumb. Great Stuff! Keep’em coming.

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

Thanks for the support! Sometimes I try to explain things and it feels like I totally botched it haha.

[@capecoaster69]

Good job done !

[@defjamsgreen]

INVERTERATION IS A SUCCES . NOW YOU'RE TEST IS RUNNING GREAT . JUST REMEMBER , IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO INSTALLING A SECOND SAME INVERTER , SPLIT PHASE 220V FROM BOTH 120 V INVERTERS WONT WORK BECAUSE THE INVERTERS WILL BE OUT OF PHASE UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A SINGLE SPLIT PHASE INVERTER .

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

Thanks for the heads up on the split phase. I may look into a split phase inverter in the future but for now I'm sticking with 120v lol. Thanks for watching!

Lbf is the abreviation "pounds force". It has nothing to do with impact or whatever you said. It has to do with physics and being technically precise in the stating the rating. This is the science/technology part: in physics you measure mass in kg or lbm(-pounds mass) and you measure of force in N -Newton or lbf- pounds force. In the US we measure mass and force in terms with the same name: pounds. Weight and force are the same thing, a measure of how hard something pushes. Mass is a measure of how much of something there is. The distinction is important in physics because the weight of something changes depending on the strength of gravity. For example 6 pounds of flour on earth only weighs 1 pound on the moon. On earth 6 pounds of flour weighs 6 pounds-force (lbf) and is 6 pounds-mass(lbm) of mass. On the moon the same four weighs 1 pound(lbf) but it still is 6 pounds mass (lbm). It only had 1/6th force on the moon that it has on earth.

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

I struggled to understand why they would use that term instead of just pounds of weight it can hold (like for a picture hanger), but then it clicked that these screws may have a force acting on it that is not gravity. Thanks for sharing. I'm not ashamed to learn new things! Haha

[@barrellcooper6490]

@@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996 weight is a force. I'm not sure why they went through the trouble to add the f on the end unless they wanted to clarify for someone from another country that uses metric system units and wanted to do the conversion. Or they are serious nerds. LoL. Someone else to think about is a term called safety factor. A safety factor of 6-8 in a "engineered" system is not unusual. So when you look at ratings on fasteners you might still use a screw rated 400 pounds to hold 50 pounds. And screws are cheap compared to failure. So I like it!!

[@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996]

So they COULD have just said pounds. Sheesh. I dont like physics.😂 Yea, I know its overkill but like you said, fasteners are cheap compared to failure. So are fuses! More on that in the next video.
