Suspected Converter Problem
Hey guys, back again. Hoping to gain some insight into an ongoing problem we've had this summer. RV is a 2004 Fleetwood Terry Quantum AX6 365FLTS. The rv came with a factory installed WFCO 8855 ...

A couple things to add.
My second method above (2x 40A breakers) makes no sense, at least if you're powering off the converter. The converter breaker is going to open before you reach the ampacity required to open either feed breaker, unless the battery is somehow "supplementing" the DC load.
Speaking of the converter breaker, I lied to you. I thought it was a 60A breaker, but upon closer inspection, it's a 50A. Hey, it was dark, okay? This is supported by the fact that the largest shortstop breaker Bussman manufactures is a 50A.
Based on this, would you recommend splitting the converter output across multiple breakers? This would allow more flexibility if I went to a larger converter later, but I'm not sure that will ever become a reality based on your comment that only one of my genny's won't be able to support much over a 60A converter.
Lastly, I was looking at some of the brackets and buss bars they have available for ganging together multiple shortstop breakers. I'm envisioning that I could set this up in a manner that would preclude the need for a positive buss bar and still have no more than two connections on any stud.
Eager to hear your thoughts...
