Power Electric System That Uses Your Car to Power a House – Sustain Critical Loads During an Outage

Author: Michael Thellend

Everybody has a Generator

You have a vehicle power electric system, a motor with a generator for use in an emergency power outage situation. Almost everyone has a generator right in their driveway! All you need is a small alternative power system and you can power almost anything you want even while you’re away. I will show you how with this CSA approvable system to safely harness the power from your vehicle to sustain critical loads such as sump pumps or a fridge and a whole lot more. Just plug your car into your home or business when you need to and you’re ready to go.

20,000 Watts or more from your Car or Truck

Did you know that you can get 20,000 Watts or more of power from a series of high powered alternators in your vehicle? With today’s technology in alternator construction there are high powered units that can produce up to 4,000 Watts of power. That’s equal to what a small gas powered generator can produce and the nice thing about using an alternator for power instead, is that you don’t have to lug it around or put gas and change oil every 4 to 6 hours.

How it Works

This system uses your current, secondary; even multiple installed alternators in your vehicle to send DC power via quick connect battery cables to a weatherproof fused DC service entrance. From the DC service entrance that looks much like your standard household meter box without the meter, the DC power is harnessed by a battery bank. The power is then converted to usable AC power via a DC to AC inverter power electric system. There’s always standby power in the battery bank as the batteries are being charged in normal hydro utility mode. This system can be a manual or fully automated one.

Problems that Occur and the Cure

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. This will overload and damage your alternator when your vehicle is connected. Another is choosing exactly what loads you want working with the system, you can’t run everything at the same time. You can use a simple control circuit with relays to prioritize or time many loads in a power outage when you have little power. In addition to control circuit designs for load management, I will show you how to protect your alternator from a power electric system overload.

Some Advantages to having such a System

-Your vehicle can run for days on end, it has a large gas tank. Filling a small gas tank on a generator over and over again including adding oil can be a pain.
-System works automatically when you’re not at home. 
-There are literally millions of generators on the road.
-System can be upgraded with solar, wind and generator hydro; you can make your own electricity and store it.

Some Disadvantages are

-Less continuous power than a Portable Generator, depends on what alternator your system has.
-System cost can vary depending on your power requirements, mainly how much you want to run at the same time.
-Not as efficient, some loss but still very good, 90 +%.

Conclusion

Overall the advantages out way the disadvantages merely based on the fact that you have access to dependable emergency power on demand quickly and safely from any vehicle. Add alternative power products like solar panels and a wind generator to this system to create and store your own electricity. You can even build your own alternative power products and save a ton of money.
