If you are running shore power into an inverter charger that has a circuit breaker built in, is there any need for additional circuit protection?
In my mind, the shore power source should be coming out of a panel with a circuit breaker. So long as it is not rated for more than the pass through capacity of the inverter, then it should protect the system. Additionally, the inverter charger has a built in circuit breaker that should protect the lines between the inverter and outlets whether on shore power or inverter power. Does this sound correct?
On my previous build I installed a separate AC panel like this:
I used on of the switches to go between shore power and the inverter. I did like the ability to hook up shore power and then decide if I wanted it to go to my inverter/charger or not as well as have a convenient spot to power up my outlets with a simple flip of the switch.
This time I am trying to keep things as simple as possible and am thinking this is really not a needed piece of the puzzle. Am I adequately protected?
