My boat has a pretty basic shore power system with a 16A connection, a breaker, and then a few 240v sockets around the cabins. I don't believe there is any sort of ground to any part of the boat itself.
I've also got a Victron Phoenix inverter (not an inverter charger) which currently just has one socket as its outlet, completely separate to the other 240v system.
I don't have a permanent charger- I use an IP22 on the rare occasions that I'm in a marina. 99% of the time we just use solar.
I was thinking about wiring the existing 240v circuit up to the inverter. I have a 20A AC changeover switch which I could use to switch between shore and inverter power.
If I go ahead, is there anything I need to be careful about? In particular, what should I be doing, if anything, about the ground?
