Hi all, I am at a crossroads with making a final decision on which inverter I will be using in my setup and had a quick question regarding hardwiring to a subpanel from an inverter which has an outlet as the AC Output.
I am specifically looking at this inverter from Victron:
https://www.amazon.com/Victron-Ener...1200&qid=1556081341&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmrnull
The inverter has a female Nema 15-5R plug for the AC out.
I called a well known inverter store and spoke with someone about hardwiring the inverter to a subpanel. I was told it is acceptable and common practice to put a three prong male plug on the end of your AC cable to the subpanel so that you can plug the subpanel directly into the receptacle on the inverter.
I don't see why this would be an issue, but wanted to throw it out there and hopefully get some feedback from someone who is not trying to sell me an inverter.
Thanks much.
