Microwave or Grill?

[Stay Frosty]

Sadly hair straightener these days as there's just the one.
48 volt DC to 230 volt AC inverter so the input current is a quarter of the 12 volt version. I can't claim the idea as it was mentioned on a Will Prowse video on YouTube.

Yeah, I understand the P=IxV, but where are you going to store the 48V, unless you have a 48V battery bank? If the alternator is outputting 48V, the whole vehicle would have to run at 48V.

I was thinking 48 volt leisure battery with the B2B charger being an inverter too to bring the 13.8Vdc alternator output up to say 50Vdc, the solar panels could be wired in series to sum there outputs with the mppt charger bunging in electric at 50Vdc?

Er.. @Catdickens Did the gathered brethren help you make a decision on microwave or grill!! Apologies if we have taken the thread a little off the 'grid' !!

Point well made and taken

Though @Catdickens hasn't been back since 2021 we should probably check in with @xMARSHALLx that we haven't completely bamboozled them...

You can get electric BBQs to plug into some EVs now. Now then kids, would you rather have another burger & walk home…..

Maybe that’s what was going on in Luton Airport recently.

Nah, definitely a diesel, the BBC said so!!

Apparently the fire started in a diesel & then spread to 3 adjacent EVs, once they went up, it became uncontrollable. The bus that crashed in Venice last week was an electric bus. The fire was so intense that the emergency services couldn’t get close, even though they could hear people screaming on the bus. The victims have had to be identified by DNA.

This can't go wrong in my van.... Not with it being fitted safely under my seat base.

If I can add the video one day I'll post what I did with my space.

Can't upload the video, probably too big, so here is a YouTube link.
