Answer by Savannah Guy
Are you trying to power 120 Volt or 12 Volt electrical equipment? Either way you’re looking at nearly 400 amps of additional load on the vehicle and that’s a waaaay lot.

If your equipment is 120 volt it would be much easier and cheaper to install a generator. Some generators even have regulated outputs that are very precise and surge-protected for sensitive equipment.

If your equipment is 12 volt (such as a rack of amplifiers) then you’re looking at adding a couple (or more) alternators and may need custom bracketry and fanbelts to drive them. I was at a car stereo competition years ago and there were vehicles with up to 6 alternators. The problem you will find is alternators are rated at their maximum output, not what they put out at idle. Even a 230 amp alternator may put out less than 100 amps at idle. Look for alternators built specifically for use while idling if this is your situation – either industrial vehicles or special alternators designed for stereo competition with high output at low rpms. If I was you I would research what types of industrial uses the Sprinter has been modified for and some of them may have already solved the very problem you’re having.

Work only in dry environments. No water on the floor.

Plug AC powered test equipment into a GFCI protected circuit.

Really no safety issues on DC voltages under 50V.

Only handle electrical leads with one hand. Keep the other in your pocket.

Rubber mats to stand on.

Rubber gloves worn inside leather gloves

Face shield and arc-flash rated clothing when working on anything over 50VAC.
