If you feed a Freedom XI with #10 Romex through a 30 amp circuit breaker, you should use a supplemental breaker panel for the typical 15 amp branch circuits (#14 Romex). If you overtax the Xantrex inverters by tiring to exceed their rated output, you will get an E-05 hard shutdown fault. This fault will also disable the pass through relay. It is necessary to reset the inverter to use it again (remove all battery power for 10 seconds). On my coach tripping the tripping the 200 amp circuit breaker in the battery compartment won't do it. I had to remove the ground.
Yep...... Thor pulls the GFCI out of the Xantrex Pro XM 1000 and instead of running 14 gauge wire from the AC Out lugs, they are tapping into the wires for that were used for GFCI and using the 15A internal breaker.

Thor is not even using 14/2 Romex solid to and from the inverter. They are using flexible 14/2 stranded wire for the AC into and out of the inverter. It is more like wire used for power tools. They did use Romex to the outlets but it seems crazy they didn't run Romex to and from the inverter.
