Hi electricians, My iota charger had an unfortunate encounter with a
welding outlet and I am in the market for a new one. One thing leads
to another and I am now looking at running the front A/C off an
inverter for those minor cooling days without the generator. Then I
looked at the currents and now am considering going to and LN 24v
alternator(maybe 130A at 24V) and an outback VFX3524M inverter. It
looks to me like I could hook the inverter to one of the 30 amp legs
and put the inverter loads there and that way the existing selector
switch would still work as isolation for the 50 amp and gen use?

I have read through the writeup by http://ourodyssey.blogspot.com/ but
I don't want THAT much automation. I think the 24v bus would be an
asset for a future solar addition also.

Any thoughts on 24V?
