Thank you!
When you installed the inverter, did you use a sub panel for the inverter loads?

When DRV does a factory whole house inverter (2800 or 3000 Hybrid Magnum products) the main panel has a branch circuit with a two pole breaker feeding a sub panel.
The sub panel then supplies all the potential inverter loads.
The Magnum inverters have a built in transfer switch.

No, I did not have a sub panel installed with the solar setup. The smart phase selector switch was suppose to avoid doing that at a much cheaper price. I guess these switches had a lot of problems.

I installed the multiplus II and removed the smart phase selector switch though my shore power lead 1 is dead. It has power at the reel coming in from shore power. Any ideals?

I would guess if your single inverter is only on one line coming then you'll only get one line going out. One of the features of the Victrons is the ability to run two in a 240 arrangement.

This picture is my panel arrangement.

Everything is working again. I called DRV and they said that power cord reels are going out and the company that made mine is out of business. So the reel was removed and a short cord was installed. I was quoted $1,800 for a new reel.

I removed the transfer switch, smart phase selector switch, and the Victron Multiplus. I installed the Victron Multiplus II and ran new wire from breaker box to the inverter. New wire from surge protector to the inverter so I'm back to camping.

Thank you for your assistance.
