I have 2 of the LV6548 All-in-one units from MPP and I'm working out how to set up for use with the generator.
The genny can do 7000 watt continuous and has a 30amp 240volt output which is 4 wire and I assume is split phase.
The LV6548 units can each take a 120 single phase AC input, and each have a single phase AC output as well. They can be configured to work together in a split phase configuration for supplying loads. But can they accept power from the different legs of a split phase input?
In other words, can I run the single 4 wire connection from the genny into the shed, then split the hot wires so that one goes to one charger, and the other leg goes to the other charger?
Are there any issues that might pop up like one charger being turned off for some reason while the other one is pulling a full load to charge the batteries from the generator power?
The generator also has 2 of the 120v single phase 20a outputs, which I would guess (with low confidence) are connected to each of the legs of the 240 output. So I think it's ok to draw out of balance power from the 240 output as long as the 30 amps is respected on each leg. But I'm not sure.
Anyone here have more definitive answers for if it's ok to split a 240 genny output into 2 all in one charger/inverters?
For reference, the generator is a Champion Tri-fuel 100416 rated for 7000 watts on natural gas which is what I'm running.
