I like to use heat guns to shrink tube. Those take 1000 watts. How big is the
inverter?

I sure hope it wasn’t due to cost of the generator. Needing something and
having it while running fiber is like well, necessary.

No idea what it is in lux, but all three of us agree there is more than
enough light. I've got the worst vision and can easily see the strands.
I should probably specify...we have an inverter for 110vac coming off that
battery. Works for phones, splicer, otdr, etc. Battery charges off the truck
with the extra pin on the trailer hook up. Take off the trailer plug and drop
the trailer and the truck can go freely. Limited to a handful of hours off the
battery.
All the work is in town right now so there are street lights, but we have a
Dewalt battery powered light stand that does very well (mostly used for
tenting).
I pushed for a generator but the guy doing the work said to take it back
*shrug*

You need 500 lux to splice. Hard to get that with 12 volt lights.
Your splicer and otdr will run down in the middle of a splice and you will
want a generator.
You will have night work and you will need some higher intensity lights
outside to see inside the handhole etc.
Unless you plan to have a vehicle running to power your 12 volt system you
will want a generator.
Sometimes you have to drop the trailer and drive to get someone while
someone stays behind splicing etc etc etc...

I pushed for a generator. The techs resisted and ultimately we ended up
without a generator.
The lights were easier on 12vdc. Propane works so well for heat. AC is at
a loss.
Why do you say we'll eventually want a generator?

Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector inside.
I think you will find that you will eventually want a generator.

Doing 12vdc in ours.
We use propane for heat and haven't really figured out the air
conditioning. The whole side opens up like a food truck, though. Ohio treats
us OK.

Some have ground rods and wires but mine don’t and I have never seen
anyone do it. The generator is floating with respect to earth so grounding is
not going to improve safety from that aspect.

Does anyone know? Do splice trailers get grounded for reasons of
generator and/or other reasons while splicing?

Work in progress. We will build another one for our other splice
trailer once we work out the kinks.
Like to be 60 dB at 10 feet.

Neat project. Have you considered making it double walled with
some sort of anti-vibration material or suspension between the inner and outer
layers?
