So while I am waiting to get my drive fixed, I thought I would get another project off the list. I have a 2000watt Vector VECO54C MAXX SST inverter. The PO just had it mounted under the seat and would run an extension cord to it when needed. I wanted to tie it into my panel so when on, all of the plugs would be hot. I will not be running the stove or water heater from it, but it would be nice to plug in a small appliance.
I purchased a switch from WM to separate the shore power from the inverter output. Managed to run all the wires and get it mounted in the panel as per the instructions. (I just put a male plug on the end by the inverter and plugged it into one of the 110 VAC outlets) Now comes the problem. Shore power works fine, but when I switch to the inverter, I get a reverse polarity light on the panel and no power. I checked the output of the inverter with a meter. With the black lead on the ground, I get 110 on both other leads, the hot and the common. I have even unhooked the wires completly from the panel and get the same result. The shore power is as it should be, 110 on the hot and nothing on the common.
Any ideas?
