2001 2900scr 120V power panel
I searched all the threads and can't find one relating specifically to my problem...
My 120V panel has a 4 position switch (off-1-2-3) that I think may be a switch for a genset. There was a previous owner installed generator at one time but I have removed that wiring. The panel has been tampered with and the main breakers have been jumped together for some reason (not safe). I have installed a 3000 watt inverter with an automatic transfer switch to protect the system. I am re-wiring it to original. I don't believe the factory new set-up for my boat included a genset.
My questions are...
1- shouldn't the incoming shore power (2 plugs) go through the 2 main breakers on the panel first and not the switch?
2- Is that 3-position switch for a genset, or simply to switch between the 2 power sources (something I can do with the main breakers on the panel)? Do I really need it?
This switch is a Kraus & Naimer CA20 with 12 wiring terminals that pose many combinations for hook-up. This switch doesn't appear on 110V wiring diagrams in the Maxum sport cruiser manual I downloaded so I think I can just bypass it.
Any help would be appreciated. It seems Maxum has many different 120V panel designs and configurations. Makes it tough to follow their thinking.
