EHU Question. Non VW

Post by maxstu »

We use an Esterel folding caravan for our camping trips. It has been sitting idle for a year. So l decided to open it up and check a few things before going on our grand tour in mid Sept.
Needless to say a visitor decided to make use of these vacant premises. And why not!

But moving on...l cannot recall what l did to the electrics. So what Amp fuse should l put in here?

Image

Here is the set up..
Ezternal EHU with battery charger.

Safety box...

Two cables leading out of external EHU with battery charger...

Grey right hand cable with blue and brown wires goes to fuse holder in second photo.

Looks like the low voltage output is 150W 10A so 8A fuse is the closest.

Hi Mike,

And thanks for the reply. 8amp it is. :ok


Are you back on site in Dover? If so, would care to visit with the old man before autumn sets in. Perhaps some time later this month or early Oct?

If only l had known! Could do with some income for sure. No deposit either.
Made a right mess inside. Fortunately it left the caravan under its own accord. Big blighter too after scoffing three porridge pots and half a packet of crackers. :x
