Magnum Inverter/Charger problems

[peliaspastia]

A little over a week ago I returned to my 2007 Tuscany and the AC power was off. The 50 amp service to the MH was working fine, and my Progressive monitoring unit showed no faults. Inside the MH, the digital monitor showed "Internal Fault -1". After a number of attempts to reset the unit, I shut the power off at the 50 amp breaker and went to bed. The next morning I turned the breaker back on and then pressed the reset button on the Magnum inverter.
Like magic all was back to normal, that is, until tonight. Same problem! I tried resetting again but to no avail. It did restart again but for only a few minutes. I have turned the breaker off again and will wait till the morning to try a reset.
Any one have some helpful hints? Am I headed towards a new inverter?

i would check the phone cable connection at the invertor. Mine popped out some what was caused all sorts of weirdness. i think the guy that changed the batteries didnt seat it all the way.....

it would read a fault and no communication
if it helps
other than that the book and their website

could also be the mains at the breakers...i have found several connections worked loose over time and caused odd electrical behavior

there is a thread here about wires and them coming loose its a good read

Sent a query to Magnum and they concur with you that it might be caused by fluctuations in the AC power supply.

Just a follow up. I went into the bay where the 50 amp cable is connected and checked the connections. Two of the connections required tightening. One of which took about 3/4 of a turn to tighten. I am guessing that this was the cause of my problem, since it has been working fine since. BTW the two loose connections appear to be the ones that lead to the Inverter.

good to hear your getting a handle on your electrical issues


i have developed a weird oddity
when you shut the door the TV picture flickers
i have unscrewed every cable connection and re-attached same.
then did every wire i could find and the breaker box.....but still i get a flicker about every 4 th door closure, soft or hard
