I assume these are "native" DC with the AC power coming through an inverter "brick" or similar? And that they look for AC first if both are available. Are these assumptions correct?
So a question is this. If away from shore power, not running genset and the refrigeration running on AC from an inverter bank of batteries, I assume they would be more efficient by turning off the AC source at the breaker panel and running them from the DC breaker skipping the inefficiency of the inversion. Correct assumption?
