Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

@Westom:
You are needlessly obfuscating the discussion. Although it is true that you can redefine any term any way you please (and can find president for it somewhere if you look hard enough), it is...

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

Are you asking what would happen if more than one surge suppressor was connected to the same phase? I don't think it would do any harm. In the case of a transient event, my guess is that it would be...

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

I hope that these interleaved topics aren't confusing people. All of the above is correct. But, high-end inverter/chargers do NOT ignore any of the stated anomalies. So, if your AC power is flowing...

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

I was just going to wire in one phase. If it ever blows, I will rewire so as to switch to the other phase. As you say, 2 for the price of 1.

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

Here is a picture of the control panel that I had Great West add to our Legend. The leftmost switch on the Paneltronics switch panel turns the inverter on or off. You can also see the Outback's...

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

Are you able to shut off (or maybe it does it for you) the inverter section when you are on shore power?

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

The Outback VFX2812 lists a max AC input current of 60A and a max output current of 40A so, yes, it will pass the full 30 amps.

Re: UL 1449 Certified Surge Protection Devices for RVs

Yes. This distinction is key. One needs to understand how a given rig is wired in this regard. Our GWV Legend has a 2800W Outback inverter/charger, and the 120VAC runs THROUGH it. That means that...
