Allan,

According to Wikipedia, it is not a typo. It is, however, an excellent example
of lousy technical writing / documentation. You are correct to zero in on it

What Outback seems to have done, is switch from a four line drawing on the input
side of the circuit to a one line drawing on the output. Bad. And, it was a
confusing drawing to begin with. However, I think "120VAC to Neutral" was
correctly meant to mean, as measured from that point to the neutral bar. Your
proposed "120VAC output to Inverter" is much better.

Allow me to digress point out, most consumers, homeowners, tradesmen, and
engineers only read the owners manuals when forced to. One reason, perhaps, the
manuals, more often than not, suck. A pet peeve of mine.
Great documentation takes time and talent. Both cost real money.

I agree. Your solution works. It really is that simple.
