Ben,

My transformers are behind the main AC/DC panel in the galley.

If you have two power feeds going through the same current pickup donut you should really take one of them out. It’s unlikely you can determine how much current is going through your inverters in bypass mode to know how much “doubling” of the current you have to correct for.

I would relocate the inverter feed outside th pickup as the most critical AC load number you need to know is the one from shore/generator power. The critical inverter load number is DC amps and I suspect all coaches display that number. Unless your converter requires you to do manual load management while on inverter power, your inverter load is somewhat limited through wiring that limits inverter loads to specific loads. The exception would be things that are plugged into outlets, like hair dryers. In this case, an AC ampmeter isn’t going to do you much good as the inverter or better yet inverter AC subpanel will likely throw a breaker.

Gil,

I can’t speak for others, but I’m pretty happy with my coach and if we have found a minor problem such as the one Tom described it just doesn’t rise to the level where I want to devote any time to it.

I’m leaving it as is, now that I know how it works, it’s not a concern.
