That would have EVERYTHING including the air conditioning running off the inverter...
Typically (duckface had a post briefly that said he wanted his differently...) the air conditioning and converter would not be powered thru the inverter.
The A/C because of the load, and the converter because you create a loop of batteries sending 12v DC to inverter which sends 110 AC to converter which sends 12v DC to batteries...
The main transfer switch output should go to the breaker panel... The A/C, converter, and inverter should be powered from there.
The output of the inverter should go to a subpanel with breakers for the load it is to supply to.
You can use an induction ammeter to read load coming out of the inverter with the A/C on... Many shown here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=inductive+amp+meter |
So assuming they did run the A/C thru the inverter why does it not try to turn on when I am on inverter only?
Side note it occasionally does try to turn on when on inverter only but only after my rig loses power with the A/C on while trying to use shore power/generator and I reset and use inverter but accidentally left A/C on.
