Installing a MS 3000 Xantrex inverter on my boat. ( I know friends don't let friends buy Xantrex but I've had this unit new in the box for a couple of years).
Currently have* single phase 30 amp panel in the boat and a 2700 watt Mase genset. Also a Kohler manual transfer switch for Generator and Shore Power.
The MS 3000 can be supplied from a split-phase or dual input AC source.
"The MS 3000 is designed to be connected to AC sources that energize both the L! and L2 inputs, and cannot be powered by single phase input where only one of* L1 or L2 is energized. To connect the MS 3000 to a single-phase AC supply , install an appropriate transfer switch to energize both L1 and L2 inputs. Consult a qualified installer for further support"
"Dual input: This source type has two line inputs, one neutral, and one ground. Unlike the split-phase type, the two lines are in phase (not out of phase), and must come from one source. The voltage between the two lines is zero. The voltage between each line and the neutral is 120 VAC, and the voltage between the neutral and ground is approximately zero. Because the two lines are in phase, the currents from each add together in the neutral. For example, if Line 1 is 20A and Line2 is 15A, the current in the neutral is 35A.
I'd like to keep the 30 amp service so my question is in regards to a proper transfer switch to provide the dual input.
Thanks Chip
