All of the circuit protection is there. It's the same path it always has. Whether I am inverting, generating or passing though shore power, the path always contains both a main and a sub-circuit breaker.

I don't see a sub-panel, just an inline inverter.

And the inclination to be so strident in the belief that your way is somehow superior?

Mine requires no interaction. I simply switch from shore to ships power. My genset operates the same way. I see no huge inconvenience.
