i fired up the generator so i could turn on the A/C before leaving for Lunch with a friend
i put the Mastech clamp on amp meter on the wfco output wires
and measured 106.8amps out of the converter to the battery bank
the inverters were drawing 16.49 amps
so that was 90.31 charging amps
well solar was doing 5+ so battery charge was in the 95amps range
we are under trees with as much shade as we can get
turned around with the awning facing south and the bedroom pointed west
not to good for afternoon naps, but the awning helps keep the main part of the rv cooler
after 3hrs converter down to 15.xx amps, basically just about what the inverters are using, turned off the front A/C turned on the rear A/C, that one is 20yrs old OEM, and is a real power hog, can be hard to start the compressor sometimes, bit runs quieter than the newer one up front, that is only about 10 yrs old
