It may well be that relay sense fried. Dedicated power is not uncommon when a thirty amp relay is used. Regardless of inverter potential.
I diverted generator power. One hotel load goes to kitchen and bedroom, the diversion goes to the 220 ampere 28 volt charger. The 4024 Trace uses a 60 amp relay but my humongous inductive loads will not see that path.
One of my extra Klixxon 15 amp breakers is for troubleshooting. In such a case as this, it would go inline before the inverter.
Switch off all the rig's breakers including master.
Switch off the inverter if possible.
Enable circuit FAULT: end test
No fault: Switch on converter breaker and test for function if it does not fault the beaker right off the bat.
A watt meter inline would be of great help. Wattmeter agrees with load is a good sign.
And so on. One by one. Repeat, test, verify with wattmeter.
Wattmeter means Kill-A-Watt or clone.
