Eg4 6000xp

[Jason flores]

6000xp for 6000 watts can I take a hot leg from each ac output and hook them up to this 50a gfci box ?
I don't need 240v for my rv but to drive up and connect to my 50a rv .

You didn't specify which "gfci box"

If you are asking about feeding a panel.. yes, you can put 1 hot leg on each side.. Each side would only be 120v. you'd only get 240v if you used a double pole breaker to combine the 2 hot legs.

But, take that with a grain of salt, until we know what "gfci box" you mean.

Sorry about that i tought i added this

Should go without saying but you cannot deliver 50 amps. But as long as you don't draw that much your fine. I would suggest a 30 amp breaker after the inverter before the box. Of course you need to size wires correctly etc...etcc...

More info 48v 7000 w panels
300ah lifepo4 .
Each leg of 6000xp only has 3000 watts I want to use all 6000 watts so splitting the leg on 50a even if I don't use 50a ?

 

[LordBane68]

I hope someone else gives you a definitive answer, but I'm pretty sure that you get 3000W 25amps per leg/line, so probably not what you're wanting.

The 6000xp is 3,000 per 120v leg. so, 6000 in total.

The RV box you linked has normal 20a 120v outlets.. a 30a 120v RV plug, and a 50a 240v outlet.

I'd assume you'd use the standard L1/L2/N/G, but only the 4prong 50a cord would actually USE both legs.

Without seeing the wiring schamtic, it's impossible to tell if the 20a outlets, and 30a outlet are on the same leg or not. I'd assume they would be on seperate legs to balance the load a bit.. but we'd need the wiring schematic to be sure.

Here's the schematic
Thanks for your help

ok, yes. the 20a 120v, and 30a 120v are on opposite legs.

This would work fine.

In any case, while the 6000XP's inverter can only generate 25 amps on each leg, it does support up to 50 amps in bypass mode. It has been reported that when grid power is present and the loads exceed the 25 amps for a long enough (I don't recall the amount of time), the 6000XP will automatically switch to bypass mode and pass along up to 50 amps until the load drops below the inverter's 25 amp limits for I think it's a few minutes and then it will automatically switch back to using the inverter, so having those 50 amps of shore power hooked up could be nice depending on how much your loads are.

Is that confirmed? The switch to grid if load exceeded and back to solar/battery again? Wonder if @Zapper77 tested this.

Yes.

 

[AZ Solar Junkie]

Yes.

This seems like a nice enough behavior they should make a point to highlight it as a feature. I don't find it anywhere on the product pages or the manual, so I'm glad you reported this as it will be particularly useful for my setup.

I'll upload that video now. I just need to find it.

Edit, on the way

Just watched it. Awesome! Are there any big negatives on this inverter yet?

Not that I can think of. Just remember 6,000 watts is the DC charging limit.

Per inverter so 12k charging in your setup?

Yes.

mine topped out at 5640 and 6320. So almost 12K total.

Is it 120a charge and 8kw input capacity?
