I reached out to Progressive Dynamics to find out if you could have the shore power on the Normally Closed position for the Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch # PD52, and this is what I was told via our tech contact:
"I think there is confusion here; the PD52 uses two normally open contactors not a single relay with normally closed contacts in the inactive position as with the PD51. Second, the RV transfer switches are designed as "Generator Priority" that means that whenever AC voltage... view full answer...
Yes. As long as you have the appropriate amount of power reaching the inverter, a 2,000 watt inverter will be enough to run the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM135C.
The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM135C requires 1,450 watts and it has a start capacitor that helps jumpstart the AC when a campsite or generator doesn't provide enough power. view full answer...

I spoke with Go Power and they stated that this is very common as most people plug the connector for the Remote for Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34279999 into the wrong side of the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278156.
You'll want to ensure that the connector is plugged in on the DC side and not the AC side where the outlet is. view full answer...
Converters like the part # PD4635V only convert AC power to 12 volt to charge battery banks. If you needed the battery to power your AC unit you'd need an inverter like the # 34279948 to convert the battery power back to AC power for the air conditioner. view full answer...
When installing the transfer switch # 342GPTS for your Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System # 34282183 the generator/shore power should be wired to the N.O. Neutral and N.O. Hot terminals along with the converter charger.
The Inverter should be wired to the N.C. Neutral and N.C. Hot terminals. If you have the inverter on the same terminals as the shore power/generator then it will never kick back and forth between the two. The inverter can not be wired to the same terminals... view full answer...
I do have some options for you. But the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K does not provide any actual power, that would come from your battery bank, shore power or generator. The # PD4135K distributes out the power provided to the panel and uses shore power to recharge your batteries.
The best set-up will depend on your goals. If you plan to camp at RV parks then you would just need a power cord like the Mighty Cord RV Power... view full answer...
No, you do not need to disconnect an inverter like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34279948 while your converter charger is charging your batteries. view full answer...
If by phase you mean the leg there is no transfer switch that is going to allow you to choose which leg you want to power. An inverter like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger - 3,000 Watts # 34275013 is going to connect to both the main leg of your panel and the second leg, with only the second leg receiving power from the inverter when running off of the battery.
When connected to shore power the inverter will switch off and allow power to flow through the inverter... view full answer...
The Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger, # 34275013 should be installed using 4/0 or larger wire. Your currently installed converter needs to be supported with wiring that supports this. We have the Installation Kit for Go Power Inverters with 400 Amp Fuse # 342GPDCKIT5 available if needed.
This should be installed in close proximity to the battery bank, but not in the same compartment. Wire the DC terminals to the battery bank, installation details are linked below.... view full answer...
The Replacement Converter for Parallax/Magnetek or WFCO RV Power Centers # PD4635V that you referenced was designed specifically for replacing the 6332 model Magnetek converter you have so this would work great. You'd remove the converter you have now and install this in it's place.
You would need to use a transfer switch like the part # PD52 as well to go between shore power and generator power. The panel was designed for adding a transfer switch and has a section in the attached instructions... view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch - Remote - 2,000 Watts - 12V Item # PD64FR will pull DC current from your battery and convert it to AC current for when you aren't hooked up to shore or generator power. The integrated transfer switch automatically changes from inverter to shore power when you hook up at the campground so you won't have to turn your converter on and off. If you look at the attached instruction manual you'll see how to wire the inverter... view full answer...
The Everchill Refrigerator for RVs that you referenced requires AC power. If all you have is DC power you would need an inverter capable of providing 115 AC volts with 2.5 amps of current draw to keep it powered in transit.
If you don't yet have that refrigerator, you may instead want to use the 12v version # 324-000119. view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger part # PD4060K has a built-in converter which will charge the batteries using shore power. It does not contain an inverter or transfer switch which will power the appliances without being hooked up to shore power and cut power when shore power is plugged in. For this, you'd need the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Transfer Switch like part # PD44FR.
I have attached a sample wiring diagram below.... view full answer...
Yes, the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 is designed to switch to inverter power when the shore power is disconnected (and there isn't a generator running).
There is a 20-30 second delay for the switch to jump from one power source to another and that's set in place to help you avoid losing power. For example, if you're plugged into shore power and you started up a generator, the generator has priority so this unit will switch to the generator, but only after the generator... view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics 60 Amp RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4560K18LS8 does have a built-in converter but if you have some outlets that are designated for AC power then you do need to use an inverter like the Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter # 34280178. For this you can use the fixed-mount remote # 342GP-HD-R and the installation kit # 342GPDCKIT5 to safely connect the inverter to your battery and monitor your system. view full answer...
The Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter # 34280178 is an industrial inverter that provides AC power for electronics and appliances. It has a 3,000 watt running power output. This is more instrumental than the voltage output. However, 102 volts is too low of an output, I would ensure that you have proper input voltage going into the inverter. Whether this is sufficient to run your electronics and other needs is going to depend on what you are trying to run and the size of your... view full answer...
In order to hook up the Everchill Refrigerator to 12 VDC power you will need a pure sine inverter, the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter part # 34282690 is what I recommend. The above Everchill Refrigerator cannot be wired directly to 12 VDC without this inverter but we do have one that will wire directly to 12 VDC without an inverter, the Everchill Refrigerator part # 324-000119 but this is most likely more than your are looking for. Most RV Refrigerator's run on 120 VAC. view full answer...
You can use two 12V batteries to power the Go Power Inverter # 34275013 but that all depends on what size 12V batteries you plan on using what "short periods of use" means. I reached out to my contact at Go Power and he said that if you are using deep cycle batteries and the load is not too excessive then you should be fine.
For example, if you were trying to pull the full 3000 Watts out of the inverter that would be about 25 Amps AC or 250 Amps DC. If you were to run this for a half... view full answer...
