Shed Kits



Shed Kits from Home Depot can be purchased in various sizes and types. Or can be custom built for any application

 1/16 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Plastic Panel



They make excellent greenhouse out buildings when insulated and finished on the inside. 

Added electrical power to operate any thing from 120 volt outlets and security lights to 240 volt ballast 1000 watt HPS with 240 volt timer control and HVAC for year round use.


Above Photo Controls
1-100 amp 240 volt Subpanel
4-240 volt 24 hour timer
4-2 kw 240 volt outlets timer controlled
4-1000 watt HPS 240 volt
1-HVAC thru the wall 240 volt 3 kw
1-parr flood motion light on 1-single pole switch 120 volt
2-interior lights on 2-single pole switches 120 volt
3-wall outlets 120 volt
3-ceiling outlets 120 volt
4-additional 1000 watt HPS is designed into system for additional load with plug and play operation


With Spring right around the corner D B Electric has been busy building these kits for clients one farmer had a cooler for his asparagus to be cooled down to 38 degree fahrenheit built and another had a greenhouse timer controlled for all types of vegetables, both had the thru the wall HVAC 240 volt. Contact D B Electric for all your grid tied or off grid electrical needs, we also can assemble shed building kits or custom build one for any application.

600 amp dc switching contactor

A source for off the shelf quality switching dc contactors at http://www.ametekswitch.com/DC-Contactors/DC-Contactors-JEY48-Tabs.aspx gives battery banking bus bar connenctions easy for bolt on  appliciations.

Series negative to positive connection of float voltage batteries gives the required float voltage but the AH battery rating does not increase. Example 4 100 AH 12-volt battery series connected will equal 48 volt dc 100 AH. To increase AH parallel neg to neg and pos to pos would give 400 AH but only 12 volt dc.

String sets of float voltage batteries can be contactor controlled to make massive amounts of dc to ac electrical power possible. High amp contactors makes switching these string sets possible and very easy the hard part comes with PLC automation dc switching control to pull fault sets or charging sets offline as required to battery drain percentage. This is what D B Electric calls smart switching on the dc side of mini microgrid electrical power. PLC SCADA interconnects with grid utility and can take solar, wind, hybrid electrical power for back feed when systems are producing more than they are using onsite.

Electrical grid utility sinewave power can be matched to quality high end dc to ac microprocessor controlled inverter electrical power with switching transfers so fast that computer & clock resets are not needed. In either 50 or 60 hertz single and 3 phase with voltages matched to clients needs.

Small building blocks of off the shelf electrical power is possible by purchasing supplies as funding is available and island style connections in steps to achieve your own mini microgrid  electrical power. Electrical power is very easy to safely produce with total control and protection. And with quality materials that have years of off the shelf life cycles for trouble free reliable and dependable electrical power.

D B Electric offers freelance consulting with 42 years experience. D B Electric can show you how easy off grid or grid tied electrical power is. It's all in the numbers your ac monthly wattage load matched to different forms of alternative energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, hybrid) can lower, stop, or legally back feed into grid power and many other options.

Kick Single Phase AC to 3 Phase Static Phase Converter

480 volt 3 phase light circuits from single phase power


Static Phase Converter
240 volt single phase to 480 volt 3 phase

Different methods are available to make single phase electrical power into 3 phase electrical power. 



The reason for these higher voltage ages are that less amperage is consumed for the same wattage being operated. Example wattage/voltage=amps 120 volt single phase load at 1000 watt 1000/120=8.33 rounded off is 10 amp draw. Kick the voltage up for the same 1000 watt load to 480 volt and see the savings 1000/480=2.08. 

Matching wattage loads is simple by totaling wattage to quantity of light fixtures operated at different voltage levels to determine lower utility cost or off grid to lower battery bank drain. Then size breaker protection at the higher voltage in 3 phase subpanel to control the required loads. 



Once again it comes down to another switching point and breaker protection to control load to PLC smart microprocessor controlled island switching that has SCADA options
.

Endless options for free electrical power is possible by adding solar & wind for netzero metering, green energy, off grid  electrical power and island style control on both dc & ac voltage levels.

Three phase electrical power can lower amp output by higher voltage increasing mini micro grid electrical power can be building blocks off the shelf built in stages as an investment that pays for itself and opens other electrical options as a charging sources for electric autos, crop watering remote power, telecom, cabins. 


Electrical energy is a pure sinewave in utility grid transmission and generation that can be easily matched to power transfers from different sources added together to made an island style connected system aka mini micro grid electrical power.
