Heart Interface
Larry,
I too, had my boat wired that way. My boat had 1 air conditioner. The boats total draw with everything running would not exceed 50 amps total. So, with 2 3o amp legs, the 50 amp load could be divided even enough to keep the loads down to the maximum 30 amps per leg. With the Bird, we have 2 legs of 50 amps. You COULD make a mistake and have 2 or 3 a/c's ON and, for some reason, loose shore power (city power glitch, someone trips on your cord, you accidenatlly swith the matster changeover switch, etc). The internal, 30 amp MAXIMUM, transfer switch would try to transfer the 50 amp loads. 2 things would happen- 1.) the internal transfer switch would probably cook 2.) you would instantly overload the Inverter, which will try to sustain the load up to about 40 amp draw, then it will shut down. You would have had a 12V draw of about 375 amps which should be sufficent to blow the 300 amp fuse that is in the lines that connect the inverter to the batteries. Too much crap to go wrong when its wired so that ALL the loads COULD pass thru the Inverter. Note that on the $1M rigs, they use 2 inverters with 50amp internal switches each. Bottom line- Install it correctly and there will be no booboo's ;~} Jay Darst 85PT40 Springfield, IL --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Larry wrote: > > Hi Jay, > I would like to tell you of my experience with Heart...
