5. The inverter’s AC Output 2 supplies a separate sub panel.
The appliance and outlet loads are then supplied with
power from the inverter hot and inverter neutral bus in the
sub panel.
6. If a generator is installed in the system, use a break-before-
make AC transfer switch to switch between shore power
and generator power. Route AC output from the transfer
switch to the Main AC Panel.
Connecting Appliances
Only lighter appliance and outlet circuits should be connected
to the Inverter AC Panel. These loads are supplied power
through the inverter in transfer mode, or by the inverter in
invert mode.
The heavier load appliances, such as space heaters, stoves,
water heaters, air conditioners, AC to DC converters, or other
battery chargers, should be connected to the Main AC Panel.
Power for these loads are supplied by shore or generator
power that is connected to the main panel.
This split load approach will help avoid problems such as
overloading the inverter or rapidly discharging the battery
bank. It also eliminates the need to manually manage your
energy usage when using inverter power.
