Default control panel

Working on the control panel today with the help of my friend Yves who knows his stuff ! Had to part out a C-5 Canadian panel to get the unique battery selector .

Temporary battery / generator control panel installed and functional . The switch on the bottom right between the fuses allows the use of the two battery banks ( 4 batteries in all ) to start the generators . Ingenious on the designer’s part . The larger fuse ( 60 amps ) is to protect the radios , the next one to the right ( 10 amps ) to protect the interior lighting fixtures and the two ( 30 amp ) either side of the switch , the double 300 Watt Chorehorse generators . Nice design . That’s why using the C-5 charging panel would be risky : no circuit protection in case a live wire shorts ... burning smell in a generator or radio and / or melting batteries . Interesting study in design . The porcelain switch on the top left is to select the battery bank feeding the radios . The cutoff switch to the right is to select what generator is charging what battery bank .

The left and right chorehorse mounting rails are made from 2 pieces of 1" by 1/8" angle welded together to form a 1/8" runner. These are welded to the frame Robert has already started installing. Into these runners slides a 1/8" thick plate that the chorehorse bolts to. Once slid into its track of angle iron there are two pins (easily found at Canadian Tire as 1/4" securing loops) and chains that go though holes in the angle iron and plate to hold the genny in place. Locations best guessed from the pics.

Oh, and the plumbing at the lower left is of course the exhaust for the chorehorse(s).
