Let's see if it gets edited or not.
Inverters improperly installed or subpanels not wired correctly are the number one cause of these issues. I get 2 or 3 calls a week for this problem.
I have installed many new ELCI breakers on older boats. When the new breaker does not trip on shore power you will not trip a differant docks breaker. It's makes sure your 100%.
The ELCI is the new standard for ABYC and other groups for safety. If your upgrading your boat and don't put one in your crazy. I use the blue sea versions and have them on order all the time to try to keep inventory. As I said above if it doesn't trip on the dock power everything on board is ok. If it does you need to address a problem that is usually from bad installations.
FYI.
I am a Victron distributor and installer. I am Garmin, Raymarine, Furano and Navico trained too. I do this kind of upgrade almost daily. I have removed at least a ton of old garbage inverters and bad batteries this year already. It's amazing what some people do to their boats in the name of cosr or labor savings.
