Will Go Power 3000 Watt Inverter Output 50 Amps on Both Sides

Updated 03/14/2019 | Published 03/13/2019

Question:

Does the inverter, when wired directly to 50 amp dist. powering both sides ... does it invert to both sides or only one on the distribution panel? If just one is there a way for it to invert and power both sides? In other words when off-grid Id like it to power both sides of the 50 amp dist. panel. Ive read the entire manual and viewed all the diagrams and I didnt see the answer anywhere, or missed it. Im not planning to use sub-panel and want to wire the inverter directly to my 50 amp dist. panel and have it invert to both sides, not just one. I realize on shore power it will pass thru power to both sides of dist. panel but I want same functionality when its inverting off-grid.

The Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter and Inverter Charger # 34275013 will output on both sides when inverting. With the inverter you would only have about 25 amps total output but that is split between both of the legs. From shore or generator power it will pass up to 50 amps on both legs though. I confirmed this with my contact at Go Power.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
