So here on the ship we don't run 1 AWGinormous wire from the generator to the main switchboard, we break it up into 6 smaller wires bolted to each lug on either end. This is to make it physically possible to run that much power and still bend wires without putting so much amperage through them that they melt.
I'm looking at putting in a small solar setup for the new storage shed and the new garden shed. I already have some panels, a 40a MPPT controller, going to put in some 24v battery love, all I need is the inverter.
I was thinking about putting in a 2500-ish watt inverter and connecting it to a small breaker panel to feed out to the 4 circuits (15a lighting, 20a outlet, 2 buildings) but while the inverter says it can pump out 2500w all day and surge up to 4000-ish, it only comes with a few 15a outlets and drawing that much power across them would involve fire and an unhappy wife.
So here's my thought. Can I take 3 or 4 male plugs and wire all the Hot leads to the breaker panel and all the Neutral leads to the N-bus and spread the amperage load across multiple outlets on the inverter? Mathematically this would let me draw all the amperage the inverter can provide without cooking anything off.
I just don't know if there's some sort of harmonic frequency black magic or circuitry weirdness that would make this a "Bad Idea" or anything like that.
So, is there any reason I can't do this? (Forgive the krappy MSPaint drawing. )
