I did a search and I did not find the exact information I am looking for.
I have a 50A 5th wheel. I have an auto transfer switch and the inverter will be powering one leg of the 50A circuit. The other leg is not being used. The leg not being used supplies power to the second A/C, 100A converter, fireplace, etc. Basically everything I do not really need when the inverter is on.
I believe the white wire [neutral] is still switched with the transfer switch is engaged. The hot wire is what is not being switched. Is it possible to run shore power to that leg so the converter could be charging the batteries [not interested in using the other consumers on that leg] or will the common neutral be effected in a way that the inverter will not work or be ruined.
I guess in simple terms can a common neutral be used for two different phases on A/C power?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I honestly searched and my skills may not be up to par with others.
