Power Inverter Installation
Hello fellow RV owners! I have a 2018 Raptor 398TS, and have acquired an AIMS POWER 4000w inverter/charger w/ the 120/240 option on it and auto transfer switch. I don't have any issues using the genset but some of the dry camping sites I want to go to frown on constant use. A couple of questions-
1)From the inverter manual, it appears that I can make the shore power go to the inverter first, then use the inverter outputs to power the main electrical system. Is that correct?
2) What happens to the converter, anything?
3) What happens to the ONAN 5500 Genset wiring and function?
4) does any of this affect the in-command or the "brain"(i think that is on 12v).
On the DC side my plan is to add a third battery, 1/0 cable to a kill switch, then a 300a inline fuse, then the inverter. I got the optional battery temperature sensor and the remote control panel. I plan to use the auto generator start function but not sure how to integrate the ONAN into that equation.
On the AC side, I planned to take the wiring out of the main panel, and run it to a 50a breaker in a box (going to need a j-box anyway so might as well use a breaker). I planned to wire out of the breaker to the inverter inputs, then go from the inverter outputs into the main panel.
Does this make sense or nonsense? Is there a similar wiring diagram someone could post?
Thank You!!
