Power Center - Winnebago 2004 Itasca Sunstar Owner's Manual

SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The three-prong power cord is designed to
ground the electrical system through the recepta-
cle. It is also designed to carry the amperage out-
put of most campground outlets. If the electrical
receptacle to be used is designed to mate with the
three prongs on the power cord plug, the electri-
cal connection can be expected to carry rated
load. (See approximate power consumption table
on page 6-5.)

WARNING
Do not plug the power cord into an
outlet which is not grounded, or adapt
the plug to connect to a receptacle for
which it is not designed.
Be sure that all three prongs of the
supply cord are properly plugged into
the receptacle.
Do not connect the power cord to an
extension cord.
Do not plug the power cord into the
generator receptacle while the gener-
ator is already running
Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse
or circuit breaker at the receptacle. This protects
the park's wiring, as well as the power cord on
your vehicle, from electrical damage. If electrical
power fails, contact the park attendants and have
them check the fuse or breaker for your supply
receptacle.
After disconnecting the power cord, neatly re-
place it in the storage compartment.

POWER CENTER

The power converter changes 110-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the shore-
line into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-volt
equipment in the motor home.
Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged
for use by items which require 110-volt current,
such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in
AC mode, the microwave oven, etc.
Current drawn from the coach batteries passes
through the power center unchanged, although it
is routed through a series of protective fuses lo-
cated on the power panel.
The power panel is located in the lower face of
the couch. The power panel contains the coach
electrical system 110-volt circuit breakers and
12-volt fuses.
