On my POPUP trailer I have my converter wired into a 15AMP 120VAC Circuit breaker. This is usually the second breaker down the 120VAC power distribution center.
I have installed a second converter PD9260C when I upgraded to a better smart mode converter/charger that came with a 120VAC Power Plug. I installed a new 120VAc RECEPTACLE close to the where the new PD9260C was installed and routed the 120VAC wiring back to the WFCO Power Distribution center. I was able to replace the large size 15AMP Circuit breaker in the power distribution center that was feeding the original WF8900 series converter with two half size 15AMP 120VAc breakers. Now I can turn off the 120VAC feeding either the WF8900 series converter or the PD9260C installed in a different location at the same 120VAC Power Distribution Center circuit breaker panel.
This is what I did to use two 120VAC Converters in my OFF-ROAD POPUP 30AMP wiring configuration.
Although it does not do any harm running both Converters at the same time I normally just use one or the other by flipping the two half size circuit breakers. The PD9260C is the primary and the WF8945 is a back-up unit.
