Section 6: Electrical System It is important that the fluid level of any connected batteries be checked on a regular basis. All batteries will “gas” and lose some fluid when continuously connected to any charging source (does not apply to “gel-cell” batteries). Before checking for converter output voltage, the battery cables must be disconnected at the battery.
Section 6: Electrical System BOOST MODE: Green LED is on solid. Output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the battery up to 90% of full charge. STORAGE MODE: Green LED flashes every 6-8 sec- onds. Output voltage has been reduced to 13.2VDC; the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.
Section 6: Electrical System The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. Fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike. 12-Volt DC Outlet There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appli- ance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.
Section 6: Electrical System If you run the furnace and refrigerator simultaneously, you will be using approximately (12.0 + 3.0) 15.0 amps per hour. This does not include any 12-volt lights, or any other 12- volt component. If the furnace and refrigerator in this example operated constantly, a 75 amp-hour battery would become fully discharged in 5 hours.
Section 6: Electrical System 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.
Section 6: Electrical System Replacement circuit breakers must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type. Never use a higher rated replacement circuit breaker; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring. Maintenance At the beginning of the camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as needed. Test by turning each circuit breaker “off”...
Section 6: Electrical System 50 amp Power Cord Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores. Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
