Elec...I hope you find the issue for the blown fuse. Electrical problems are a real bear to diagnose sometimes. Usually a blown fuse indicates that there is a grounding issue somewhere. Like, a couple wires that are worn and touching, or a wire that is broken or almost broken. Or even a connection that isn't 100% in contact.<br /><br />I don't know why you think 12 volt systems are easier to work with than 110 volt. (BTW, I think you mean 120 volts like in a house)? <br /><br />Some appliances need more electrical "push" to operate right, but there are MANY appliances that will work just as well with 12 volt as with 120 volt because they have transformers built in or plugged into the wall via a "wall wart" that change the voltage from 120 volts down to the needed voltage of the appliance. <br /><br />The transformer also changes the electrical energy from your wall socket from AC current to DC current. (Sorry if you already know this stuff and I am not being helpful at all).<br /><br />The difficulty is getting the voltage to match the needs of the appliance, and each appliance varies in its needs.<br /><br />You can install solar panels in series to get up to the 120 volts needed to run appliances. And the battery packs would be 12 volt batteries hooked up in series as well. There is much more discussion we could have about this, but I am sure you don't care to read it right now. Lol.<br /><br />Hows that for a little electrical discussion? Lol..sorry...we should talk about solar energy systems when you get here. Its a passion of mine! :DEmily A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17643608048915245152noreply@blogger.com
