Just so other folks reading this don't get confused, 50 Amp Rv's are 120V not 240V. The 4 wires are 2 x hot, 1 neutral & 1 ground. Each hot feeds it's own 120V load center. Other wires shared. ...

OK so what was a issue on Dec 1 (my post) was solved by Dec 5 but then queried on Dec 13 by the OP.

If a new circuit was added then the problem was eliminated.

I'm not referring to inverter use at all. That's a separate issue which should be solvable.

I'm just not certain of your understanding of this so thought it was worth mentioning. You're doing...

Just for clarification, I was referring to converter plus Keurig use while plugged in to grid power. That's where it could be problematic if both are on the same 15A circuit. A switch that turns the...

I don't see a problem with 11.4A use on a 15A circuit either. You mentioned also running a Keurig on the same circuit so there could be times when you'd exceed 15A and trip the breaker. You'll...

They call that a Dead Man's plug. I used one once instead of a proper transfer switch and smoked the inverter first time out. I couldn't believe I forgot to unplug it on first use! You can't rely on...
