I need to be able to run all 110 outlets and appliances off inverter while simultaneously running all 12V system off batteries.
The converter is there top left.
My 2 solar controllers are master and slave, they are meant to run like that. Technically, I could add several more slave strings. Initially it was an amp sizing issue vs cost vs space. I kinda like having 2 different strings.
My batteries power the converter like everyone else's, although mine are first routed through the iBCS "brain" which does its own magical switching and regulating.
Since it looks like you are using the WFCO 120v/12v distribution panel I am fairly certain if you power up the 120v side of the panel the converter will put 13.6 volts onto the DC side. Something will need to be disconnected to disable the converter."
Is the problem that both the batteries and the inverter-fed-converter will want to power my 12V system at the same time? But how is that different than just plugging in shore power? Both remain connected. Since I have no direct charging feedback to my batts from the converter, I don't think I have a loop (because iBCS brain).
One option is to just use the batt kill switch (after inverter connnection), then my inverter will power converter will distribute 12V to system. But I don't want to run my fridge, lights, USB, fans, furnace, etc. on inverted to converted power.
Yes, my GFCI outlets branch also includes my fridge, but I can unplug it. I don't want to have to do too many switches for each case and get it all confused.
I see a loop if the battery disconnect switch is closed. The inverter powers the ac side of the converter. The ac side of the converter powers the dc side of the converter. The dc side of the converer powers the inverter. Loop complete.
Again, loop not complete because of iCBS brain?
Yeah, direct wiring the inverter to the generator transfer switch input would be simpler than another switch. But the switch would favor inverter power over shore, but I'd never turn on inverter when on shore anyway.
I have emailed the company to have them confirm that power cannot come back through the load output L+ terminal to the batts as it would with normal RV wiring.
Makes my head hurt..
