120v All-in-one 40A

[THUDGUN]

So, my Inverter/Charge controller is 120v, but the input is up to 40A. This is from Utility. Does this mean you can run two 120v inputs, on 20A breakers, provided they are on the same phase?

You would be better off with a single, larger, breaker. You might have to order one or go to an electrical supply house.

40A@120VAC makes me think that you have a circuit from a load center with a 40 amp breaker connected to the ac_in of your inverter/charger, confirm?
If yes, then typically you would put a load center downstream of your inverter/charger for load distribution.
What is the continous rating in watts for your inverter charger?

Oh, so they make 40A, single pole breakers? I thought is capped out at 20.

Yes but what you can use will depend on the load center/breaker eco-system.

Yea. That's the form factor of the breakers for my panel. I wasn't going to wire two channels into my inverter, I was just curious and a tad confused. Slowly learning, Thank you.

Again, please provide a product link for your inverter/charger.

A 40 amp single pole breaker and appropriate wire will make a proper ac input circuit.

Thankyou kindly.
