Inverters mfg today
Most will draw something, when off
Because they are not truly off
The switches are control switches, not main power switch, they are too small to carry even the 25 amp load of a 300w inverter
No way are they going to carry the power of a larger inverter
If they built them with mechanical electrical relays operated by the switch
There would be no drain when off
But it's all electronic controls, and there is always some drain,
For storage mode you need a mains power disconnect
If I am reading you correctly I can use a disconnect switch to control the invertor. So under my new scheme of things I will have a battery disconnect to everything and then another that just controls power to the inverter. Is this correct?
I want to prevent battery drain while using power to the 5th wheel and when I'm not using the inverter.
Am I missing anything?
