T&T: 230v/50Hz

[Al Thomason]

Right,  In my case, the 2nd inverter is installed in such a way that this will
not happen.  There is a dedicated line in to the 2nd inverter when it is used
as a '50hz battery charger'.  The normal ship shore power hence does not get
energized and hence the primary inverter will not switch into pass through
mode, only invert mode.

  You need to be very careful about this. Many inverter/chargers are also
automatic 110V switches as well. When they see good AC power, they switch the
load over to the incoming power instead of running the inverter.
