I’m interested in using a high-capacity inverter as home power backup when the grid goes down. I see that there are high-capacity inverters such as this one: https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/...MItoT_1PqA6AIVEl8NCh1GOQTAEAQYAiABEgLQOfD_BwE
Now, I’m curious to know if these can be wired directly into my breaker panel the way I’ve already done for my gas generator. I coiled feed it into a bipole 50amp breaker for 240v power for my well pump and other things. Is anyone out there familiar with this type of installation/use of an inverter??

Where would you plan on getting your primary source of voltage? How big is your battery system? It may take a rather large battery bank in an out side building to handle a house on an inverter.

I have a 1000 watt inverter that I would have to wire into my truck and keep it running if I use the full amount.

I doubt that a vehicle could power that thing.

What’s your power source for that inverter ?

It’s made for a 24vdc Input.
6000w at 240vac isn’t a problem, it is 25 amps.
6000w at 24vdc is a problem, it’s 250 amps.

So what are you using to supply more than 250 amps at 24vdc (More due to inverter losses) so you can get 25 amps at 240vac ?

Why is this needed if you already have a generator solution ?
