Power Inverter - Fleetwood 1999 Discovery Parts And Service Manual

The power inverter is designed to provide
120~volt
AC power
to the rear TV, one receptacle, VCR and frontTV only. The
inverter uses 12-volt DC power from the house battery sys-
tem and transforms it into 60-cycle, 120-volt AC power to
run some of the appliances in the motor home. Controls are
located on the monitor panel.
Because the inverter uses 12-volt DC power, extended use of
any available appliance can run the batteries down. A low
power indicator and automatic shut down system built into
the inverter can help prevent deep battery discharge. When
the inverter shuts down, the batteries will require recharging
from the generator, converter, or an external AC power
source, the solar charger, or the engine alternator.
Bathroom, galley, and patio l20-volt electrical outlets are
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
This device is intended to protect you against the hazards of
electrical shocks possible when using electrical appliances in
the bathroom or galley or in damp areas. Should a circuit or
appliance (electric shaver, hair dryer, etc.) develop a potential
shock hazard, the GFCI device is designed to disconnect the
outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit), limiting your
exposure time.
Test the GFCI at least once a month. To test the GFCI:
1. Connect the main power cord to 120-volt AC.
2. Push the TEST button. The RESET button should pop out,
indicating that the protected circuit has been disconnected.
