Total AC Power Output Of Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34275013

Updated 05/07/2024 | Published 04/09/2022

Question:

If the GoPower is a 3000W Inverter, is that 3000W per 120V leg or 3000 total distributed across the two 120V legs?

Regarding GoPower IC3000, it feeds 3000/4800 max to both legs. Is that fed equally to each leg (1500/1500) or based on load of each leg ( ex 800/2200)? Regarding the 4800 surge, it holds for how long? Also, when I set my IC3000 to power share, if I set it at 30 amps and am running a 30.0 amp generator, does power sharing fill the gap between 30 and 50 amp? I typically run paralleled generators that will carry my 50 amp fifthwheel with two ACs, but there are times I'd prefer to run only one generator that produces 36 running amps. Thanks

@JimS The wattage will go on each leg based on the load required from each leg. In regards to the 4,800watts surge the timeframe changes depending on how much over the 3,000watts is being pulled. For 4,800watts it will provide the power for 5 seconds. If you are pulling say 3,300 it would provide that power for 5 minutes. For the power sharing mode the system will attempt to pull all the power from shore/generator power and will then fill any void from the inverter. If the generator/shore is providing more than enough power it will take any excess power to charge the batteries.
