I'll have 2 5000w Victron Quattro inverters setup in split phase 240V (lets call Red and Black), then will have a 3rd 5000w Victron Quattro inverter (lets call Blue) as a secondary system for some redundancy. The plan is to have the 240V inverters power 3/4 of the coach then the other 1/4 will be on the 3rd inverter, allowing me to use different outlets incase any issues as both systems are completely separate with separate battery banks. The 240V goes into the left panel Red/Black then through the bottom to the right panel BUT then only the Black inverter powering half the breakers. I'll then have the 3rd inverter (blue) coming from the top on the right panel powering that half of the breakers. I know it wont be the far right side and every other one on the right panel. The 240V is 4 gauge wiring for red/black inverters and the blue inverter will be 6 gauge.
The problem is the ground and neutrals will all be connected together which should be ok. The main reasoning for this instead of a subpanel is I can easily swap breakers around incase of an issue.
I'll then have the red inverter using a 30amp breaker on the left panel to send into input2 of the blue inverter. I can then use logic to control when I want to switch the blue inverter to passthru or invert. So if I connect the black/red inverter to 50amp shore I can use all the power from shore and charge both banks off the single cable OR I'll have a shore cable for the blue inverter to IN1 and can connect it there so it'll have 1 leg of 50amp shore while the black/red has both legs and I could get 18kw power coming in. My 20kw genny will be on in2 of the black/red.
