I'm considering switching my plans for my backup system from 240V split phase to just 120V single phase (there's nothing 240V that needs to be powered in an emergency). If so, I would still be using a residential load center. To use both legs in the load center, are there any dangers with jumping one leg to the other? I thought I read somewhere a year or two ago that there are issues with this, but I can't find anyone saying why NOT to do this.
Obviously I wouldn't want ANY 2-pole breakers installed (other than a 1-space tandem).
If no issues, is the best way to achieve this to simply jumper one main lug to the other?
If I have two inverters in parallel single phase (as opposed to just one inverter), I believe I would still want to jumper them so that they can fully share the load and not operate independently, correct?
