How Does Progressive Dynamics 4100 Series Converter/Charger Supply Up To 5 Branches for AC Power

Question:

Hi Im looking at the PD4100 Power Control Center and I have a question. The PDF owners manual states that there are five 120v AC branch circuits. There is only room for the main 30A breaker and two additional circuit breakers on the bus. How are there five branch circuits? Thanks.

Aside from the main 30A breaker you install on the Progressive Dynamics 4100 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel # PD4135K, you can install 2 tandem, or "split", breakers which would give you the 5 branches for 120V AC. Otherwise you can just install larger breakers and have 3 branches.

I've attached a photo from the linked review video installation that demonstrates this.

The 30 amp breaker is the feed coming in and then the 2 tandem breakers only give you 4 branch circuits. If there is a way to get the 5th circuit I would be interested in that.
