2004 Vectra -Fault in RECPS 1

[viktor]

While running my coffee maker, and two electrical heaters, I lost power when I turned on the Microwave. RECPS 1 breaker tripped. It will not reset. The gfci units in bedroom and at the galley sink would not reset either. I replaced both. When I restored power to the RV, both showed a red light and the Microwave has no power. Generally the microwave comes on when shore power is restored. Now it appears that the entire panel does not work. None of the other circuits trip however; only RECPS 1. Refrigerator shows no AC although breaker is on. Works only on propane, but noAC still flashes. Microwave breaker on; no power! Heating and Air Conditioning work. Verified with Xantrex that my Xantrex XC Pro 3000 is working without any issues. No power to the Sleep Number bed control as well. Would a short in the microwave create this? It appears I will have to start from the inverter/charger output and work my way through the tangle of wires. Any idea where I can get a schematic of the wiring would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

You tried to run 2 electric heaters, a coffee maker and then the microwave without thought to at least being on separate circuit breakers? Or all on the same inverter?

Thank you.

On circuit breakers. Daily routine without any problem. However, now realize that newly purchased Lasko heater has a defective control. I plugged it into a separate cord last night connected to shore power and it nearly melted the plug. Just checked the microwave. It is OK. Problem is probably near the exit from inverter/charger.

Update. Problem was a faulty wire tie connection to a power wire leading to the inverter/charger. The inside of the wire tie and wires were corroded. Thanks again for all the responses/
