Hello all, my next project is to upgrade an inverter to my trailer because I want to prepare the dry camping with my trailer. I will increase the battery bank and adding solar eventually, but now, just want to focus on the inverter. Please bear with me because I want to make sure I have the right direction.
Currently my trailer has a WFCO WF-8900 power center.
First, is about the construction of the WF-8900 power center. In my understanding, it has 3 majors sections: the AC breakers panel, DC panel & fuse and the converter. I believe, the shore power (110VAC) coming in and passing main 30Amp breaker, then the 110VAC will go though all other breakers (eventually providing electric to AC device). The converter was also connected to the breaker, so I will receive the 110VAC from the breaker panel, and then transform the 110VAC power to 12VDC. The 12VDC will supply the need of DC panel (for all DC devices) and the battery (charging).
When the shore power disconnected, no 110VAC power will get into the AC breakers panel, so none of the 110VAC device will work in the trailer and the converter will not function. However, the DC panel (DC devices) will still get supply of DC power from the battery.
Please correct me if I have the wrong concept.
Next, I got a 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter. It has a DC connector, AC input and AC outputs. I will charge the battery when AC supplied, and when no AC supplied, it will invert the 12VDC to 110VAC automatically.
It is very straight forward that the DC connector will be connected to the battery and the AC input is connected to the breakers (15amp).
My question is the AC outputs. If I want the existing 110V sockets in the trailer works while there is no shore power, how should I connect this AC outputs wiring? Should I disconnect the wire from 15amp GFI breakers (which I know it’s connected to all 110V sockets in my trailer) and connect it to the AC outputs in the inverter? Should I make another breaker box in between?
Thank you very much.
