@Marky Mark posted:I bought a transfer switch from Progressive Industries which has terminal markings SHORE and GENERATOR. In my case, I would have hooked my transfer switch in the middle of the shore power circuit. Then, I would have connected the inverter output to the generator. With this, if powered into shore with your plug, everything is as it is now. If you were to power up your inverter when on shore, the transfer switch would drop shore power and you would be on inverter. That's the default.
I decided not to use a transfer switch at all, but recreated a shore power plug in my spare battery box. So when I boondock, I take my 30 amp shore power plug and plug it into my battery box plug, turn off the breaker on the on board converter (very important or you create a loop that drains your battery).
I have in the same battery box a 20 amp power input into my inverter. So if I need to say use the generator to charge my batteries, I can do that. I do this because my charge circuit in my inverter is superior to any onboard combined RV converter unit made. I can select my charge voltage and charge current levels. My low frequency inverter is set up as an UPS (uninterrupted power supply)
Thanks Dean. What I am thinking at this time is running the 120 AC line from the Renogy Inverter to the Progessive Dynamics converter, at the same location as my current shore power connection is going to. That's is what I am currently thinking, but it could change.
