Sorry about delay internet hung up

Festus2.
Sorry but I have no idea what you are looking at?? two DC outputs , two 115 VAC circuits ?
OK (know you want to hear from someone else, But)
HERE, I will put it another way
Converter converts AC to DC
My Converter is powered from a 120VAC Breaker (AC side)
According to the manual Converter has two output terminals only (+ and - ) (DC OUTPUT SIDE)
Since we are going to be playing with AC and DC power for this calc will VA
For calculation purpose lets use 12VDC output at 45 AMPS (540 watts)
input AC Voltage is 120VAC
Assuming we had a converter that was 100% efficient...
Input 120 VAC current would be 4.5 AMPS
More realistic 80% efficiency would give you 5.63 AMP

Therefore for this calc Converter 80% efficient would put out 12VDC at 45 AMPS and require an 120 VAC input of 5.63 AMPS

That is how you look at power on the input and output sides

My converter actual Nominal output is 13.7 VDC
Now this singe 12VDC output feeds a distribution block (maybe that is what you were referring to???)

Hope you get your answer from the one you are asking to respond


Just my 2 cents
