GlennWest Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) I have been searching for what I thought would be a simple thing. I will be bringing in shore power, 4 #6, branching off to two 240 volt inverters. then out of those inverters to power panel in Teton. I don't see a twist on connector working on #6. So terminal stip or studs. Not finding a simpe solution to this. Best I see is individual studs for each circuit. Three wires on each stud. And that ends up 6 studs, usng common ground and neutral. Can the bussbars work with copper bar removed? That would isolate each circuit and lessen the cluter. Thought some of you might have a better solution. This does make and E Panel tempting. Neat. But That extra $600.00. It has all the connections in it plus inverter bypass which I really don't need.

Scrap Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Polaris connectors? (still needs to be in a box) https://polarisconnectors.com/pdfs/NSi/IT_series.pdf https://polarisconnectors.com/pdfs/NSi/IPLD_series.pdf https://polarisconnectors.com/pdfs/NSi/IPL_series.pdf Snap together some Ilsco PDC blocks in a box? https://commerce.ilsco.com/e2wShoppingCatalog.aspx?parentId=3100012830&parentLink=2100001183:3100012318:3100012371:3100012830 I'm far from an NEC expert, but those are a couple things to noodle over. But if a UL panel is already made, it's kinda worth it fer big power stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neutral and ground can be exsposed.

oldjohnt Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Glenn, you probably already know this but just FYI, in an RV main distribution panel, UNLIKE YOUR TYPICAL HOUSE PANEL, the Neutral Buss and Ground Buss are electrically separate insulated and isolated from each other. Its configured as a "Sub Panel" IE Do NOT re bond any Neutrals and Grounds or consider or make them common, the single point NG Bonds is ALREADY made at the RV Pedestal or its prior distribution. Your Inverter should have separate inputs for Neutral and Ground.... John T Edited May 24, 2020 by oldjohnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I know. Looking at the E panels and Magnum panels, they both use common neutral and a common ground. They are separate but inverter feed and out shares a common connection.

GlennWest Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Guys I decided to go with the Midnite E Panel. Done some measuring yesterday and it fits nicely with 1 inverter on door. It's made to go on door. It has all the terminals for connections, bypass switches, 30 amp inverter breakers, bypass system.
