My istallation in my boat is tripping the shore power protection system in the marina. My boat has two shore power connection. And on the panel it has two bus bars for neutral and two for ground. My hot wire (black) is connect to shore power 1. I connected the neutral on the power-in side of the multi plus to shore power neutral bus bar and ground to shore power 1 ground bus bar. The neutral of the output on the multi plus is also connected to the shore power 1 neutral bus bas bar. And the ground is connected to the shore 1 ground bus bar. Could the two neutrals being on the same bus bar be the likely cause that trips the safety circuit on the show power feed? Is so, then would a third neutral bus bas be the solution for all circuits down stream of the Mutliplus?
Thank in advance for any help.
If this is its first power on then likely the inrush is the problem. (Or have you powered up from battery already and are nust trying to connect to shore?)

I identified the problem. Becaus the neutral wire on the output side of the multiplus was connect to the same bus bar as the neutral on the input side, it created a situation that the shore power safety system did not like. Isolating those elimnated the problem.
