What would be ideal would be to tap the 30a supply line (somehow) with an additional 30a receptacle which the inverter plugs into - just for ease of connecting/disconnecting. Not sure if there's a gizmo for this use case - I guess this is the role of a transfer switch?
Just to clarify - the 120v supply wire to the Magnatek. This should probably be the black wire going into the lower charger unit right?
I think my Mag supply lines were white and black. Doesn't matter which one you intercept.
