Emergency Power form your Car

Just imagine quickly and safely plugging your car to your home or business and producing KW's of continuous AC power to run almost any electrical load in an emergency power outage. http://www.powerelectricsystem.com/

A fusible DC Service Entrance with alternator overload protection circuit that allows you to quickly connect any vehicle to a dwelling and safely transfer DC power into your home or business for further processing and control of AC loads.

Most people have a vehicle power electric system, "a motor with an alternator" that can be used to power critical AC electrical loads in an emergency power outage. We have millions of generators on this planet and almost everyone has a one right in their driveway! Harnessing power that can be generated by a vehicle to sustain critical loads in your home is possible but in order to achieve this goal there are things you must do first. There are many high powered alternators on the market today that can produce a whopping 4,000 Watts and some SUV's and Trucks on the road today have up to 30KW. You can realistically get 500 to 1000 Watts of continuous power with a standard factory alternator and this will depend on the alternators specifications. A factory alternator is usually enough to sustain many electrical loads in your home as most of the loads are intermittent like sump pumps, or a refrigerator. Research your current alternators specs and upgrade to a higher output system or even multiple alternators if possible.

All you need is a small alternative power system consisting of; a 1500 Watt pure sine wave inverter to convert DC to AC, a battery charger, and a few high capacity 6 Volt Deep Cycle batteries to store power. To transfer power from your car, you would need a fused DC service entrance with a quick connect system to safely connect your vehicle to your house. On the electrical end of things; you would need an emergency circuit sub panel, current sensor and control relays. With these components and miscellaneous parts you can manually or automatically prioritize almost any load in your home with a small amount of power. The role that your vehicle will play is to charge the batteries to replenish the spent reserves consumed by your AC loads. A system like this sure beats having to lug a portable generator around, adding gas or oil every 4 to 6 hours and noise levels they produce.

The problems one might encounter with a system like this are large loads on the inverter such as a sump pump motor and fridge compressor starting up at the same time. A situation like this will overload and damage an underrated alternator when your vehicle’s connected unless you prioritize loads, and use a variable current sensor relay to open a high power DC contactor to stop the flow of current from your alternator. The DC service entrance and controls can open many doors for someone that already has an alternative power setup and for those who don’t; you’ll be a proud owner of your very first electrical power plant that can be used in an emergency power outage.

Substantial amounts of dependable emergency power on demand that can quickly and safely be acquired from any vehicle sure makes a lot of sense. Add alternative power products like solar panels and a wind generator and you'll even have more power.
