Replacing magnetek 6300 with inverter/charger

You first need to discover what is connected to each branch. Then you remove the Hot and Neutral to connect to the transfer switch. I think you understand it.

Transfer switch will have a diagram. Only the Hot and Neutral are switched. The ground just flows through always.

You could swap in some different breakers if you need to isolate something. Looks like two branch circuits are ganged up on one breaker. That might be the converter.

Looks like a GFCI breaker on the right that I don't see a Hot connection. Maybe some issue is tripping the GFCI and the wire was moved instead of fixing the issue. Or maybe the picture resolution is difficult to confirm.

Thank you. Yeah the breaker on the right confused me too. I'll read up more on this approach. As I understand it, it'll limit us to the outlets on that circuit though.

If I can't figure this out, I was thinking of adding a simple manual 3 phase rotary switch which toggles between the 30a supply line (shore power), inverter output or OFF. This connects to the AC distribution panel power in. As 2oldman mentioned, also adding a spst switch on the 120v supply wire to the Magnatek charger.

So when we want the inverter powering all outlets, toggle the rotary switch to INVERTER and turn off the converter. When we want shore power, toggle the rotary switch to SHORE POWER and turn on the converter. The 99% use case is boondocking and turning on the inverter for small periods, so we're OK with this being a manual thing. Would that also work? We're not going to be using much juice - 2x80w laptop chargers at most. Everything else is DC.
