T&T: AC refers

[Vance Nelson]

The refer gets its power from a battery bank through an inverter if not 
hooked to shore power.  The refer can get its power from the invertor or 
from shore power if your inverter/charger is automatic or just from shore 
power depending how it is wired.  Normally the use of the inverter is based 
on whether you are hooked up to shore power or gen set and not based on 
whether the engine is running.
I.e. the battery is your source of  power for an inverter if not connected 
to a gen set or shore power.
The battery bank gets charged when the engine runs, the genny runs or you 
are hooked up to shorepower.
