Load Center; 120-Volt Circuit Breakers - Jayco Swift Owner's Manual

NOTE: The (diesel or gas powered) generator requires 12-volt power
from the house auxiliary batteries to start, and draws (diesel or gas) fuel
to operate from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel level in the chassis fuel
tank drops to or below ¼ full, the generator will automatically shut "off" and
cannot be re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above ¼ full.

Load Center

The Load Center contains 12VDC fuses and 120VAC circuit breakers for almost all of the
electrical appliances and circuits in the RV. The 120V main breaker may be located in this
panel and will turn off all 120-volt power to the RV. Locations will vary by model. Refer to
the diagram inside the load center for specific fuse assignments.

120-Volt Circuit Breakers

The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring
and components from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short
circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will "trip" preventing the flow
of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut off the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter, etc.)
and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After it cools down,
reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever "off" and then back to the "on" position. If the
circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical problem
diagnosed and repaired.
A circuit breaker identification label is permanently attached to the inside surface of the 120-
volt Load Center.
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical
system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
Replacement
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specified type, voltage, and current rat-
ing. Never replace a circuit breaker with one listed at a higher amperage rating. Please
contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.
