Xantrex 2.0 Hardware Inverter/Charger

[sfedeli3]

Don- what circuits do you have routed through the ProSine? Those
contacts should have been fine with a load under 30 Amps. I usually do
not flip on the inverter or plug/unplug the coach when I know there's
a heavy initial draw. Since the ice maker and instant hot are both run
through my inverter, I usually make sure the ice maker is off before
switching to inverter power. I do not run any of the A/C units through
the inverter.

went, as did the master breakers inside and the inverter breaker. I
knew I was in trouble because the stuff on the inverter went off also.
What I found after messing around was that the inverter is showing

of power on the inverted circuit (which is in pass-through), which
self-resets - I don't know what could be doing that except the inverter.
