Xantrex Prosine 2.0 2kw Inverter/100amp charger install
First, hats off to Eagle Cap, they make working on this TC so easy. Everything's so accessible and easy to get to.
So the Prosine2.0 is an all-in-one Inverter/Charger/transfer switch. Just like when you fire up your built-in TC generator, a transfer switch kick, so does this.
Installing involves undoing the 30a shore power pigtail from the TC and connecting it directly the inverter. Then you run a 10/2 jumper from the inverter back to where the shore power cord was connected to the TC. Eagle Cap made this very easy because there is a junction box inside the rear main storage where you can do all this wiring.
Here is the inverter installed next to 2 of the 6 140Ah batteries(I had to remove the access cover to get all this back in there)--
Control panel inside--
This thing is awesome -
first, it runs my electric blanket! Electric blankets don't like modified-sinewave inverters - they won't run. The use a PWM circuit to run the actual blanket, and that doesn't work with modified sinewave.
Next - a 3-stage 100 amp charger built in, that is load sensing, meaning, if you're only plugged into a 15amp shore power outlet, it adjust the charge vs. TC power use to not blow the shore power breaker. EG--nothing running in the TC, it charges as fast as it can. But you hit the microwave, it senses the 120v load and turns down the charger to not blow the shore power breaker.
Last - it can actually fire my 13K BTU roof air! I have enough battery power to run a small city, plus, a 100amp 4ga charge circuit from the truck. It was drawing 87amps@12v running my roof air, so I could easily go 6-7 hours if I needed to(that's less than 15amps per battery), then just start the truck. but how often will I need to do this here near Seattle? Not much...
