Hey guys, I'm doing a little brainstorming and wanted to see if there are any recommendations on the safest way to do this.
I want to power my shop that I park the RV next to, with my solar/inverters in the RV. In my infinite knowledge (/sarcasm), I want to just put a new plug on my RV that matches the 50a 120/240 plug on the outside, but wire it to the output of my inverters. Then I can flip off the 100a main breaker coming in from the grid, to disconnect the shop power, and take my 50a cord from the shop and plug it into the output of the inverters. I know a lot of people call the suicide cords or whatever, but thats why I'm looking for the SAFEST way to do this.
I've seen the generator transfer switches (like THIS ONE), but i dont want a sub panel and have to rewire etc. I want to power the entire existing panel. The highest load in the shop is a 50a 240v breaker, but the welder that connects to it is only capable of 31a. At most the welder and compressor with be running at the same time, with some lights.
What are your suggestions?
