The Go Power AIC-3000-12-DL (manufacturer number 83835) combines a 3,000W pure sine wave inverter, a 150A battery charger and a two-leg 50A automatic transfer function. This guide explains the critical difference between its external AC pass-through and battery-powered inversion.
50A shore power versus inverter mode
The two legs operate differently depending on the available power source. In external AC pass-through, the AIC can transfer both legs of a compatible 50A, 120/240V RV supply. In inverter mode, the unit provides two 120V outputs in phase; no 240V potential exists between L1 and L2.

DC cable and battery protection
Go Power specifies 4/0 AWG battery cable and a 400A Class-T fuse for the AIC 3,000W model family, with maximum battery cable length of 10 ft per cable. The GP-DC-KIT5 is the matching cataloged DC cable kit. Follow the actual manual for battery bank selection, routing, grounding, terminal tightening and overcurrent devices.
The built-in charger is rated 150A and can charge the battery when appropriate external AC is present. That charging function differentiates this AIC from the separate ASW-3000-12-TS inverter/transfer unit.

Use the manufacturer's model-specific illustrations for AC input and output wiring. On the AIC-3000-12-DL, the charger draws from L1. AC connections to a two-leg 50A RV distribution panel require the correct neutral, equipment grounding, source-selection and overcurrent arrangements.
