No just the branch circuit would have power. Main panel would be dead while inverting.
Cord --> main panel --> branch breaker --> inverter in --> inverter out --> branch circuit.
The electricity goes one direction. If it starts at the cord it goes all the way down. If it starts at the inverter it just hits the outlets.
You would actually remove the branch circuit romex from the main panel and attach it to the inverter output.

Yea I think you are better to reconnect the main cord direct back to the panel. Connect the branch circuit to the inverter output. Spare piece of romex to connect the branch circuit from panel to the inverter input. Still same protection and no hazards, no switches.

If I'm seeing the right one, it has a 35a charger, which I guess is fine for 255ah of battery.
Is yours a hard-wire model? .. because the Amazon pic shows outlets.

I would have recommended a small transfer switch for an extra circuit.
The AIMS 15/20 amp could have worked for one branch circuit.
Just so there is no mistaken possibility to energize the main cord with the inverter I suppose it is all good.

I did not want to use the inverter/charger as an AC pass-through.
