Re: [Electric Boats] Cycle Analyst vs Fluke 325

 

Budd makes sweet enclosures, available with clear covers (Allied). Use a label printer with clear tape set on mirror font  to apply labels inside the clear cover. Mask off the window area over the display, and paint the inside of the cover (RC model technique). Assemble with gland seals and a GoreTex enclosure vent to prevent condensation and seal wicking. 
I've done dozens of boxes with this technique, a bit time consuming, but a durable and professional result. 

Be Well,

What about just modifying a Tupperware sandwich container?
Secure the lid to a bulkhead and cut wire holes in the body of the Tupperware. Cheap and readily available.  If done right, it keeps fingers, tools and falling water out and also allows ready access to the terminals for service and inspection. 
The Tupperware seal is quite robust for an enclosure that is not fastened shut.

Ok more info:  the 50mv 200amp shunt reads ~23 mv at full throttle with the multi-meter. So I guess the cycle analyst has it wrong. I will try to figure out configuration options--it may be due to the splice I put in the line, so the resistance from that splice makes the analyst see a further drop in voltage. Not sure. 


Anyway I was also wondering if someone might be able to recommend a good shunt enclosure? Something to keep the elements out. Also apparently the ABYC requires a cover around the shunt--or at least that's what I heard. So if any of you guys know about a plastic (or other) enclosure that would be great. 

Thanks for your help!
