This is what I am dealing with in my RV. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

We do an HD show about travel in which our hilarious 1978 The Establishment is an integral character. We essentially have a full audio/video production studio installed in this thing. We've laptops, iphones, surround sound systems, audio interfaces, hd cameras so we are dealing with some serious powering issues requiring pure sine.

I went out an purchased a Xantrex SW 3000, a 3000 watt pure sine inveter charger, and a bank of eight batteries.


I want to do this as simply as possible so I am interested in two direct connections to the invertor on the input and output that essentially just run to a set of wall jacks, respectively speaking of course.

I want it so it's: Generator, Inverter, Convertor.


Can I just run AC wall jacks straight off of the power leads on on the Xantrex?
Should I put breaker in the lines?
What gauge wire will I need?


This seems to be the best configuration for my needs. Any advice would be greatly greatly appreciated


Thank you.

Welcome lost to irv2 glad you found us.

Here is a link to get you started will cover allot so read and learn.
It has your converter on links within this link.
You may want to think of surge protection for your electronics which is in link also.
Batteries need ventilation unless they are AGM's, possible explosion if not.
I'm sure others will chime in with their views.
Before you start I'd draw out a plan so you can have a reference for trouble shooting later.
Have fun and watch out for live voltage circuits.
