I have an MPP LV6048 and would like to run my grid power through it to my main panel.
I just have not been able to find any documentation on what the passthrough limit is?
It does say Max Bypass Current of 40 Amps, that seems a little low.
If it can't handle the AMPS going through it I'll need to break out a sub-panel and put it on there. I wanted to have it act as a whole house UPS.

I’m confused, do you want grid into AC IN from main panel then AC Out going back to main panel. Can’t do that without risking the life of a lineman.

I wanted to install between the power meter and main panel.
I am installing a Generac Auto Transfer switch at the power meter which monitors the utility line in and disconnects it when the power is out which will prevent me from energizing any linemen.
Doesn't sound like I can pass through it all to the main panel though. I'm trying to use it to supplement the power in the home without having to have separate circuits.
 
What is the largest load breaker in your main panel? Per code, the output of the inverter must meet or exceed this value. "The maximum single utilization equipment load connected to it."
 
That would be the seldom used in Alabama 70AMP heater circuits.
A LV 6048 output is 6000w at 120v so 50Amps. Not sure where one would find more capacity other than putting a second inverter in series.
Go figure that Generac rates their AIO at 9000w/120v so 75Amps..
Granted surge on a LV6048 is 12000w/120v so 100Amps
