    Confirm use of AC distribution box after multiplus

    Honestly I don't know - I agree with you that I think I'd trip an individual breaker (either at outlet or on the panel) long before I hit 50A on the main, but nearly every van electrical wiring diagram I see has a 50A main reverse polarity breaker after the inverter so I feel like there must be...

    Confirm use of AC distribution box after multiplus

    Ok - I got a bit more information from Paneltronics - they say the 50A breaker I selected will work as a replacement for the default 30A breaker in the panel. So now it's just a question if this setup makes sense with my 3K Multiplus. To your questions - they said the included breaker is not a...

    Confirm use of AC distribution box after multiplus

    Separately, if the maximum output of the Multiplus is truly 75A, maybe I would be better off using a 50A breaker, but somehow program the multiplus to limit output to 50A rather than 75A?

    Confirm use of AC distribution box after multiplus

    Thanks for the response! I appreciate you pointing out the manual's comments on max output with PowerAssist - in this case if the output could reach 75A, it seems that I would want a 75A breaker instead of 50A? (Although I can't imagine a scenario where I require 75A all at once). Strangely, all...

    Confirm use of AC distribution box after multiplus

    For some reason I have really been struggling to find an appropriate pre-made solution for my AC distribution panel after my multiplus 3000W. To my knowledge, I should have a 50A main breaker w/ reverse polarity because the multiplus can pull from both shore / batteries for a combined 50A...

    Wiring Diagram Review

    Hi - if anyone would be kind enough to take a look at my wiring diagram, I would greatly appreciate a second set of eyes. I included a few details on how I processed the sizes below, along with specific questions I'd like to double check. Know it's a big ask, so no pressure if this type of...

    Alternator charging - Li-BIM vs. DC-DC?

    Thanks for the replies - for transparency, I called BB again today, and talked through the situation at length and my views - in short the technician stated that for my particular system, he thinks DC-DC charging has a slight edge, and would recommend that over the Li-BIM 225. Underlying factors...

    Alternator charging - Li-BIM vs. DC-DC?

    Apologies if this is redundant or the wrong forum location, but the information overload on both sides of this debate have been challenging for me to decipher. I'm attempting to determine whether I should go with a Li-BIM 225 or DC-DC Charger (Sterling 60A) for my alternator charging purposes. I...
