Proffessor... I have a question on my 120 volt wiring.
*I am in the process of wiring up the 2k generator that I have custom fitted to my generator compartment.
-I am thinking ahead just a little and I have a couple things I am unsure of, and my instincts are telling me to do this, (which I'll explain in a second), but I want to get your opinion on it.
**In my scenario....there are 3 options/methods for 120v power to be sent to the MH breaker box.
-30amp Shore power RV plug.
-Six GC2 batteries wired in and connected to a 2000watt SineWave Inverter.
-2k Generator.
***I have an outlet that the MH came with that matches the 30amp Shore Power Plug.
-I am thinking about wiring both the Generator and the SineWave inverter to the Outlet, but utilizing a heavy duty on/off switch in a seperate box for each(generator and SineWave inverter) before the RV outlet.
-This allows me to manually isolate each source.
****Am I over doing it? Is there a need for this? What could happen if say for instance, Shore Power Plug was powered up and 120v was applied to the SineWave Inverter and the Generator when they were Off????
(...as long as the power switch for the inverter was off and not operating, same for the generator...engine not running, would everything be fine?)
