Your Converter should work on shore power and generator power. If a circuit breaker is tripped on the generator, the Converter would not have power with the generator but it would have power with the shore power and charge your batteries.
The Converter has its own AC breaker as well. If that breaker is tripped, it would not work on shore power or generator power.
One other thing..... the Converter has a couple Reverse Polarity Fuses (usually 40A). If you accidentally crossed the battery cables when you were troubleshooting the Inverter, you could have blown the Reverse Polarity Fuses for the Converter and that would prevent it from charging the batteries.
