Wiring /connections problem

I m in the process of a solar panel and battery bank and charger inverter install and have run into a problem that I can t seem to come up with the best solution or work around for.... basically the Victron inverter/charger has an AC IN that has three connections and three connections for AC OUT but my Power Panel has four AC leads coming in; I believe this is because Fifth Wheel has a 50 amp panel ( I believe there are two hot legs a neutral and a ground ) ..... How do I make this work with my new Victron inverter charger ?? please help :-) I discovered this when I was about to disconnect the AC into panel and run it to the AC In of the Victron and then take the AC Out back to the service panel....

ps... it looks to me that the 2 hot leads one to each side of the fifty amp breaker is set up to service two different sides or halves of the service panel ..

Thanks in advance for any and all help..

Joe

You install a breaker, depending on the watts of the inverter, in your main panel and run it to the " in " connection.

Then you run a wire from the inverter " out " connection to a new sub panel. The things you want to run on inverter are moved from the main panel to the sub panel.

That inverter isn't designed to be wired into the RV shore powers 50 amp 120/240 volt service. You would need a 12,000 watt inverter to do that.

Here is a layout that is typically used. Its a magnum inverter with 240 volt capabilities but I posted it just so you can see the way most are wired up.Click image for larger version
