protection for the user. All of the electrical receptacles on the "general" branch are GFCI protected
through the bathroom GFCI. Consequently, if an
appliance plugged into an outlet that is not on
the inverter , check for a tripped GFCI in the
bathroom.
Figure 9-5 GFCI Receptacle
All GFCI-protected receptacles are marked as
such, but only one of them may have two
pushbuttons on the receptacle (as shown in the
picture). The upper pushbutton is a "test"
button which can be used to assure that the
GFCI function is working—all one need do to test this function is to push that upper button: There will
be a momentary "click" and the circuit will be disconnected (i.e., no power is available at the GFCI-
protected receptacles). To reset this GFCI breaker, push the lower button (the "reset"
These receptacles protect the user from ground faults between an electrically "hot" wire and ground.
The GFCI will not reduce the shock hazard if the short is between a neutral and "hot" wire, or two "hot-
load" wires. The GFCI should be tested at least once a month. The 120 VAC electrical system must be
"on" for the GFCI to be tested. To test the GFCI the reset button needs to be pushed in fully before
starting the test. Push the test button; this will cause the reset button to pop out which means that the
protected circuits have been disconnected. Push the reset button back in until a "click" is heard—this
will re-activate the protected circuit. If the GFCI is working properly, the reset button will remain in the
"in" position.
CONVERTER
A converter (Figure 9-6) is provided as a standard
feature on the Wayfarer.
1. Convert 120 VAC power into 12 VDC
power when 120 VAC is available.
The converter will create 12 VDC to
charge the house batteries when
120VAC power is available from
shoreline or the generator.
