1997/350 anyone know the location of the AC Buss bars?
Thanks
 
Wouldn't the AC bus bars be part of the circuit breaker panel? Or do you mean the DC buss bars?

They may be on the back of the panel or mounted close by.
 
On my panel the DC stuff with the Perko is on top and the AC stuff with the 2 shore-generator-inverter switches is under the DC stuff. Same cabinet, DC on top AC under. Back access in forward head.
 
There is no such thing as an AC bus bar similar to DC bus bars for safety reasons. The only bar will be the one connecting all the brakers that are on same AC line behind the panel.
Regards,
 
All of the DC bus bars are behind the panel. The AC bus bar is really the backplane of the AC side of the panel.

What is it you're attempting to do?
 
Pull the power panel and you will find a mass of buss bars mounted behind it. I am an Electronic Engineer and find the wiring complicated and not really to the drawings. Mine was wired so that the AC comes into the panel then down to the inverter/Batt charger then back to the panel but only to some breakers not all. What are you trying to do?
