Can Hot1 and Hot2 be Jumped on Inverter  

Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 04/19/2025

Question:

Hi- I have a 3000w inverter that I would like to use to power both legs of the 50 amp RV service. Can I jumper Hot1 and Hot2 on the inverter connection to power both legs of the service? Is there a place to wire the converter so it only runs on shore power? Thank you.

Yes you can do that. Based on research from a customer with the manufacturer it is possible.

Hey, did you find a different way to power both legs of your RV service with your inverter? I'm asking because it could help others who are trying to set up their RVs safely.

@JamesonC Yes. After you told me what I proposed wouldn’t work, I called the manufacturer and they assured me it would. I’ve been running it with a jumper across the legs all summer. Just need to remember to turn off the converter when running on batteries.
