In my motorhome, I am wiring an inverter. A convenient spot to mount the inverter places it near 2 power supply lines from 2 circuit breakers, which I believe are 15 amp each. The gauge of the wire is small for the application - looks to be stranded 12 or 14 gauge.
Can I connect both power supply lines in parallel to the inverter for increased power when needed? Google searches show power supply redundancy to be suitable as long as the supply voltage is the same, so that the current is shared across both supply lines. In this case, the battery feeds equal voltage to both 15 amp breakers, so by summing the 2 15 amp circuits, do I in effect have a "thicker" power supply line to the inverter, capable of 30 amps?
