Inverter Answer that I can’t find
I’ve been researching adding an inverter/charger/converter with a built in transfer switch for a few months. Please bare with me and help me with the following if you can;
The one thing I’m having trouble understanding is the converter side of things and connecting the new inverter.
Let’s say I install the above type of inverter and disconnect and or remove my original built in converter/charger from my circuit panel. Now, I take the 30 amp shore power “in” and remove it from my current, original, factory on board transfer switch and then connect it to the AC power “in” on the new inverter/transfer switch, can I then connect the AC “out” of the inverter directly back “in” to my original, factory transfer switch, where I removed my 30 amp shore power from? (Which then goes to the main breaker on my panel, switched by my original transfer switch, between the generator, shore power or inverter power by priority).
Or should I bypass my original, factory transfer switch and go directly to my panel with the AC “out” of the new inverter/converter/charger transfer switch? If I do one or the other would my system be connected incorrectly, and what would be the effects?
Assuming one of the above is correct;
How does the converter/charger side of things connect or work if I disconnected my original charger/converter? How does the new inverter/charger/converter charge my batteries?, Does it back feed to the DC battery terminals from the new inverter/charger/converter?, if so what stops the inverter from cycling a charge to the batteries when on inverter power only?, and if the inverter is switched off does the charger/converter side still cycle through the inverter? I’m assuming the 12V connections from the batteries connects to my coaches on/off solenoid, then connects back to the 12V side of my panel and fuses?
I know I muddied up things without providing a wiring schematic.
