The inverter itself "should" shut down if it detects a short (or overload) until reset.
Most inverters worry more about "shorts" in the DC voltage feeding the INVERTER, since those are not controlled by the INVERTER itself.

While I did see that in the manual, that is not what the inverter manual states for the AC output hardwiring options. The manual gives you the following two options when you are hardwiring the AC out of the inverter:
AC Wiring Diagram without an Inverter Subpanel:
In this wiring diagram, the AC input comes directly from an AC source. The AC input must be limited with (input) breaker protection of 15 amps for the XM1000 and 20 amps for the XM1800.
The output is routed to the main AC panel or circuit breaker.
OR
AC Wiring Diagram with an Inverter Subpanel:
In this wiring diagram, the AC input comes from the main AC panel which acts as the circuit breaker from an AC source.
The output is routed to a separate circuit breaker acting as the inverter AC subpanel.
In both of the above options, the inverter manual wiring diagrams shows a separate breaker should be installed outside of the inverter for the AC output.
If Thor is using the inverter as the protection that seems to contradict the way the manual shows how the AC output should be wired.
