The ATS
does not disconnect the Converter. All the ATS does is switch between Shore/Generator or Inverter. Anytime CB1 the 30 amp main breaker has power all of the circuit breakers on that bus have power. The converter receives its power from the 15 amp branch circuit CB2. The only way to kill that power would be to physically trip the breaker CB2 to the converter. The relay will disconnect the converter automatically
The reason I am wanting to disconnect the converter is because if I am boon docking and using the inverter there is no reason to waste energy powering the converter in the PD4045.
Leaving the converter powered on with the inverter essentially is going from DC to AC to DC (Battery to Inverter to Converter to the DC bus) If I disconnect the converter the DC will be powered directly from the battery which is also connected to the DC bus. No wasted energy in the converter
I can agree with you on the ground they can all be connected to common.
