What this video covers

The crew of the former fishing trawler *Brewpeg* completes the AC electrical installation and generator exhaust system as part of a multi-year vessel rebuild. To prevent vibration noise on the steel hull, the team fabricates custom rubber-mounted brackets for the inverters, ensuring the mounts remain in compression rather than shear.2:23 They install a new generator control box on a custom-welded stainless steel frame, triangulated for structural rigidity.26:15 Because the inverter feed cables require identical lengths for proper load balancing, the team routes the excess wire in tidy loops at the base of the units.36:08 The installation includes a dedicated ventilation system with intake and exhaust fans to manage heat within the battery room.30:06 After finalizing the AC wiring, the crew successfully tests the generator power flow through the new control board and into the inverters.40:01 The project now moves to the installation of the DC system, including the Victron battery management components and battery bank.40:06
