I am planning on installing an inverter this spring. I have read many of the threads here and am planning on just plugging in the shore power to the inverter's AC output. You're going to connect the shore power to the inverter AC output circuit? Are you sure it won't blow the inverter? Most either use a dedicated inverter AC circuit or a transfer switch or manually move a plug.
In addition, I also need to turn off the converter when using the inverter. My converter is very hard to get to, with access only by removing a small kitchen drawer. If you don't have a dedicated CB just install a household light switch.
Is there an easier way to turn off the converter, besides reaching behind the drawer every time? Some type of remote switch?
Or does the main fuse panel typically have a fuse for the converter?
What is the easiest way to do this?"Fuse" generally means DC fuse and does not turn off the converter. But why do you think you need to turn off the converter? Just leave it on unless you're planning to wire it to the inverter AC output which is not a good idea.
