Power Supply:

Different amperage supplies vary greatly in the amount of available
current.
• The continuous amount of current through a breaker or fuse is
only 80% of its rated capacity.
• 50 Amp 220 Volt AC shore power service consists of two
power supply conductors, a neutral and a safety ground. The 50
Amp breaker simultaneously limits each power supply conductor
to no more than a short-term maximum of 50 Amps for each
conductor. The 50 Amp 220 Volt service actually provides 80
continuous amps.
• Use care when hooked to anything less than 50 Amp shore serv-
ice. Shore power service less than 50 Amps consists of one
power supply conductor, a neutral and a safety ground. 30
Amp shore service is limited to 24 continuous amps. 20 Amp
shore service is limited to 16 continuous amps.

Plugging in the Shore Cord Power Supply:

• Located in the roadside compartment is the shore power cord.
• Manually extend a sufficient amount of cable to reach the
power supply. If 50 Amp service is not available, install the
proper electrical adapter(s) to the cord.
• Always turn off the shore power breaker to the power supply
before connecting or disconnecting the shore cord. This will
prevent an accidental shock and flashing of electrical contacts.
• After the connection is made, turn the shore power breaker on.
The transfer switch should make an audible click.
• Go inside the motorhome to verify AC power is available. The
AC In light on the inverter remote panel should be lit and the
microwave display should be lit.
