Section 4: Inverter/Charger Installation

Recreational Vehicle System

The diagram below illustrates a typical RV system with the following components:

1.AC power supplied from a shorepower connector

2.AC power supplied from a generator

3.AC Source Selector switch that isolates the two AC supply sources

4.AC distribution panel that provides a 30-amp circuit breaker that feeds the inverter

5.AC sub-panel with branch circuit breakers that supply only inverter loads

6.Inverter/charger

7.DC power supplied by a house battery bank that is isolated from the vehicle starting batteries

8.Vehicle starting battery

9.Battery isolator

10.DC alternator

11.Chassis grounds for both the inverter and the DC components
