How is the RV world supplying magnums requirement for an external neutral and hot circuit breaker? I've looked at a number of new motorhomes lately with magnum inverters and never saw a circuit breaker on the 120vac lines.
I must of have missed the requirement to break NEUTRAL ... hopefully my rig won't explode at some point.
As I understand the American (NEC) code, neutral and ground are a redundant safety system, and should never be interrupted, that's why (American) switches and breakers are always on the HOT leg of a branch circuit. I see in EUrope, they switch both conductors. I look at it like this, if a double pole switch fails, and for some reason opens the neutral but not the hot leg of a circuit, you have a dangerous situation. I guess in the EU, switches will never fail in that manner.
The external supply HOT circuit breaker should be in the subpanel where you plug in your shore power cord, the power pole / box / whatever... or you can be over protective and install your own master breaker inside the coach, feeding into the Magnum.
