Expanding AC distribution panel

Do you want more power or are you talking yourself out of it?

How many breakers do you have? How many do you need?

My current Parallax 6300 pane has three breaker spaces.

here's a pic of a 6300, mine is installed directly on the floor under a bathroom sink. I'm planning on installing a new converter in a cupboard on the floor adjacent to the 6300. The new converter will require a 120 VAC three prong receptacle.



I've rented a rv space full time for the last 10 years and have a plastic storage shed and a cargo trailer. The shed has a 5 amp freezer of which I want to supply power from the RV's AC dist. panel or addon breaker. The cargo trailer I have it plugged into the RV AC outside receptacle to supply power to e.g. a battery charger where I maintain batteries not in use.

Also my converter went bad so I purchased Powermaster 75 amp PM4 to replace the PD9280 that no longer put's out DC.

So I need two single or a dual breakers min. 10amp and 15 amp for the freezer and converter.

The converter requires an AC receptacle outlet whereas the freezer can be wired directly to the breaker.

I'm thinking of removing and using the breaker in the 6300 that's for the AC (air cond.) or installing a small breaker panel underneath

such as e.g. a Homeline 70 Amp 2-Space 4-Circuit Indoor Flush Mount Main Lug Load Center with Cover

i.e. If I can find one small enough that will fit underneath or in the cupboard next to the converter.

Note: the 75 amp watt converter won't really need to ever damand 75 amps from AC as it's only going to be used primarily for 12 volt lighting and to run the frig. I picked it up used for the same or similar prica as a 35 amp. Currently the RV is connected to a 10 amp converter without any problem while charging two RV batteries.

If all your DC electrical needs is for lighting and and 12 volts to run an absorption frig. You can get away using a 10 amp converter or battery charger.
