I am trying to upgrade my electrical system in my new 2955. Want to install an inverter, and wondered about the following.
I see The 50 amp service is split in the breaker box into two seperate circuits (with shared neutral and ground). Each one serves every other 2 breaker set. So breakers 1 and 2 are on circuit A, 3 and 4 on B, 5 and 6 on A, etc.
Could I install something like a Xantrex Xpower (no charging capacity)1750 watt inverter (I could probably get by with 1000 watts or less, but would like to be able to power the microwave for short bursts from time to time) close to my battery, which is in the front compartment, (it looks like it would be easy to put the inverter just thru the wall in the basement area) with adequate large cables and an appropriate fuse. Then run wiring (with an appropriately sized breaker) capable of handling the surge capacity of the inverter up to the breaker panel.
Finally, remove one of the 110 sides from the breaker panel and run it and the inverter output thru either a DPDT switch or an Automatic transfer switch back to the breaker panel.
I could then rearrange the wiring in the box as needed to get the breakers I want on inverter/shore, side A, and the others (AC, water heater, converter) on the shore only, side B.
THis seems to my limited electrical experience mind to be a fairly simple and inexpensive way to get some 110 power w/o gen or shore power when necessary.
ONe final note, I already have a Progressive Dynamics 9180 converter, so don't need the charging from an inverter.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
