I seem to be getting my share of nagging problems, I guess it comes with the new bus ownership and several months at sea.
Last night Pam started the dishwasher at about 10 PM and we went to bed, all was good until the Auto Gen started and took over the AC powers supply to the bus.
I assumed we had tripped the shore power at the outside box. went out and examined the breakers, all good, looked at the surge protector all good but no AC to the bus.
I reset the main shore power breaker at the bus, reset both inverters (trace) to factory defaults reset the Aux DC breaker (Marathon) and all sub breakers, no AC to the inverters. I have AC to my shore main breaker and when I disconnect the shore power light and beeper goes off but still no power to the inverters.
On a Marathon there is a device called a T-50 load protector that manages over and under voltages to both the Main and Aux panels and I was wondering if this could be the source of the problem??
I have checked all values on the inverters, all events, nothing seems out of order, but there is no AC power to the inverters or coming through the inverters.
If the inverters do not like the power they see its my understanding they will not allow it to flow through the inverters to the various equipment??? I thought that the surge protector also made these decisions as well?? I assumed if the surge protector allowed the power to pass through it the power was good to enter the bus?? Wrong/right???
I am running the genset no problem all is normal and we are getting ready to head over the border to Maine.
Any thoughts would be valuable. I see nothing whatsoever wrong with any values at the inverters.
Thanks.
