230V electrics

This time I decided to build the electric circuits onto a separate board, with clear cabling, for easy maintenance later.

So I mounted all the switches and fuses onto one board, which simply can be removed from the van, when needed.

The initial setup of the board:


Two switches: the left one will allow to switch between extern 230V and internal battery inverter 230V. The right one will allow to change the  Lead / Null polarity, in case of incorrect campsite power supply (had that already happening once i n Italy).



And here with the fuses. There are three circuits: German-style power connectors, UK-style power-connectors, and an outlet to outside of the vehicle.



First test with real power connected: the display shows some data about the electricity.




Now adding a circuit tester, to check if the polarity L/N is correct.



So, the 230V circuits appear to work correctly. Now need to add some final connections and install it in the van.
