Hello all,
I plan to add a 2000w pure sine wave inverter to my trailer, my goal is slightly different than most popular installation, and here is a rough design, please let me know if you see problem with this design, I know more details are needed, but I just want to make sure I am not starting on wrong foot.
I put the ATS on a single breaker from converter AC panel, instead of put it on AC input of converter, for a couple of reasons
1. I do not want to run my AC/DC fridge on inverter, when I am not on shore power, it's more efficient to run on 12v directly without the inverter energy loss.
2. I do not want to deal with the complication of a battery -> inverter -> converter -> charger -> battery loop. I don't know how this would behave, but not dealing with it would be great.
3. Circuit 1 has receptacle in all places in the RV I want inverter power (kitchen, dinette, external outlet, etc) already.
4. I am not going to run high wattage appliances at the same time. in most case the inverter would be running < 200w load. I do want to use a microwave, rice cooker, and hair dryer, but never the same time.
Here are the parts I am considering:
Inverter: https://www.renogy.com/2000w-12v-pure-sine-wave-inverter-new-edition/
ATS: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/329...exp_id=d9676b87-3e5c-474c-80ad-08b0fb5ed9f0-1
I prefer inverter without built-in ATS as it allow me to mount ATS close to Converter which is not very close to inverter.
for ATS, I want something compact, I don't care much about switch time, I just need something that can automatically switch to shore power when it's available. I am open to better options though.
Thanks!
