Our 2005 Monaco Knight has a 50amp system with a Magnum ME2012 inverter/charger and 4 200ah 6v deep cycle batteries. We are replacing it with a Victron MultiPlus-II hybrid inverter/charger and 4 208ah SOK2 lithium batteries.
Problem -- We have the expected 4-line 50amp shore power cable going to the transfer switch, but the line in to the Magnum inverter from the transfer switch only has one leg. They installed a jumper in the inverter Line In from line 1 to line 2 to make both legs hot.
So, instead of 2 120v hot lines coming in, it is just one hot line jumped.
The output from the Magnum inverter is the expected 4-line to the breaker panel.
Question -- Is it common to have 3-wires coming into a 50amp inverter and jumping line 1 to line 2 a common practice?
Question -- Can I use this same line in jumper with the new Victron inverter?
Thanks in advance,
