Re: general wiring of ground or neutral
Thanks you guys, I'm new to RV.net and don't quite know how everything works yet. Will keep same project in one threat. I made this project more difficult than I needed too. Thank you for the switching clarification and the easy way to have two chargers. Dino420Views0likes0CommentsRe: general wiring of ground or neutral
Sorry, my Android and desktop are not communicating. I have a genset and shore power connected to the ATS to the AC panel. I would remove the hot from the breaker that feeds the house charger 13.6V and run it to the DPDT switch. One position would feed the boon docking charger 55Amp 14.8V no float type. The other to the house 2Stage charger. I do not want to run my Genset everyday day for long hours and no one likes the noise. The boon docking charger can get the job done in 2 hours every other day. In looking at the DPDT switch, is it possible it is for 30A and/or 50A. In that case L2 is hot as well which is why I should be using the switch grounding screw and connect to the ground/neutral bus bar? Does that sound right?

120V 30A Genset and Shore to ATS to AC panal. Using the breaker that feeds the house charger, I would use that hot to the DPDT switch which would operate the boon docking 55amp 14.8V no float charger. The house charger is used for storage or powered campgrounds. It only puts out 13.6V. Dino419Views0likes0Commentsgeneral wiring of ground or neutral
For new installation in my RV. I have a double pole double throw switch labeled L1 & L2, A1 & A2, B1 & B2. Please verify or instruct if I understand this. Run the hot from the breaker to L1. L2 is the ground or neutral? If that is correct than L2, A2 and B2 can be joined and run to the neutral/ground bus bar. Is that correct?

Cowboy et al: Thank you for your knowledge and support. I now have a much better understanding of how battery chargers work. I like the simplicity of an illuminated double pole double throw switch idea with the labeling of boost and float. Great group here.

I have an onboard Onan generator and access to shore power for storage. I have two chargers: a 55Amp no float type for boon docking and a 2stage 13Amp house charger. While boon docking, I want to use the 55Amp charger. What is the best way to hook up both these chargers? Can one charger damage the other if they are both hooked up but only one charging. Would switches be needed on the AC and/or DC side of the chargers? I need to keep it visually simple so that my less technical support can figure out what they need to do if I'm not there. Thanks for your expertise and help. Dino1.3KViews0likes8Comments
