    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Um, what? the AC in a RV is 120v, not 240.

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    then change the wiring to 6gauge, and run in 120v on the MEP, and you should be fine

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    rv won't split anything out, load balancing is done by breaker per phase, so if there is an air conditioner and a microwave on the same phase, he risks overloading only 1 side of the generator. for the best load balance and NOT requiring 240v in the rv, the generator should be run in 120v mode...

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Have to read the specs. right from your post Input Voltage: 105-130 VAC 50/60 Hz 1025 Watts 1025/120=8.5A,thus at max load the charger will use about 8.5A, not factoring in power factor(that's another subject)

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Ranger, be careful, that 20 amp charger is prolly at 12v DC, not 120v AC. if it pulled 20A AC, it would have to be capable of almost 200A DC ( which is about 1% chance it is).

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    yes ranger, when you flip the switch to 240, it reverses one of the winding's in the generator head to give you 240v, the wattage does not change, just the amperage per leg, so in 240v you get 26a per leg, or l1(26A) +l2(26A)= 52A total, in 120v single phase mode the winding's are in parallel...

    you are using a 200 amp dc battery charger?

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    think about what your saying, 26*2=52, there is no more power. the only difference is if the loads are greatly unbalanced and one side pulls more then 26 amps. generally though the big use items are on either side of the panel. ultimately if you are sure you will never run anything 240...

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    lets be clear here, the 30 amp connection is a 120v 3 wire setup. 50 amp is a 4 wire 240v connection REGARDLESS if only using 120v from either phase. people need to be careful with the 30 amp connection as its similar to a 30 amp dryer plug, yet the dryer plug is 240 and will smoke stuff in the...
