Step 1: Designing the Installation
All types of inverter•charger installations share common components, and
these are briefly described below. Figure 8 shows these components and their
relationship to each other in a typical recreational vehicle or fleet vehicle
installation. (For diagrams of typical residential backup and marine systems as
well as series installations, see Appendix B: “Typical System Diagrams”.)

AC shorepower
A source of 120 volt, 60Hz alternating current is needed to
provide energy for charging batteries and to pass through to AC loads. This
source could be the utility grid (power company) or an AC generator. Multiple
sources of shorepower can be used.
