Power Distribution Panel - Regency ULTRA Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OPERATION

POWER DISTRIBUTION PANEL

The power distribution panel and the breaker panel
contain 120volt AC breakers.
Refer to the circuit breaker panel decal to identify
the function of each breaker.
Refer to the circuit fuse panel decal to identify the
function of each fuse.
120 Volt AC Circuit Breakers
The circuit breaker panel protects all 120volt AC
equipment and components in the motorhome from
overload, a short in the wiring, or a short in the
component itself. In the event of an overload, the
circuit breaker cuts off the flow of electricity in the
system and helps prevent damage or fire.
If a circuit breaker "trips," allow a brief cool down
period of 30–90 seconds, then reset the breaker by
turning it "OFF" and then "ON."
If a circuit breaker "trips" repeatedly, the circuit is
overloaded or there may be a short in the wiring or
in the equipment, and both should be checked and
serviced by qualified service personnel.
Refer to the converter and control panel manuals in
the Motorhome Information Bag for further details.

12 Volt DC Coach Fuses
Each 12-Volt DC circuit is protected by a fuse. When
a fuse blows, shut off all appliances or lights on the
affected circuit, and replace the fuse with a new one
of the same amperages.
12 Volt DC Chassis Fuses
Refer to the chassis operator's manual in the
Motorhome Information Bag for chassis fuse
functions.
Motorhome Fuse
Fuse #10 – Has been replaced with 10-amp fuse to
power the exterior courtesy lights above the driver
and passenger doors.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
Various outlets in the motorhome, particularly those
near sinks and water supplies, are connected to a
GFCI. A GFCI detects electrical current that is
travelling along and unintended path and stops the
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire.
If a GFCI breaker trips, unplug all the appliances on
that circuit, and press the reset button on the outlet.
To test the operation of the GFCI breaker, press the
test button.
If the GFCI trips repeatedly, have the problem
investigated and repaired by a qualified technician
before using it again.
The GFCI will not completely eliminate the risk of
electrical shock. Small children or persons with heart
conditions should be extra cautious because
electrical shock could cause burns or cause the heart
to stop even when
NOTICE
The GFCI circuit in the bathroom will trip when a
fault occurs at the exterior receptacle.
