Electrical panel shows no amps being drawn

[Petroman]

Everything is working ok in the coach but regardless of what is turned on, no amps are shown. A/C, microwave, no matter. Any ideas ?

Sorry, we will need a LOT more information to be able to assist you.

Is it the incoming power Amp gauge or the inverter/charger amp gauge ?

Pull shore cord and turn stuff on and see if you get a amp reading.

You plugged into 50A shore power?

Any breakers off in CB panel. They use random breakers to powers amp monitors in some coaches.

Which coach do you have and what year? There is a big difference between the EMS in say a Bay Star and a Dutch Star.

I suspect you are looking at an Intellitec or Powerline EMS display. It does not show any amps when hooked to a 50A shore source, but it will display amps for a 30A hook-up. The reason is rather technical and has to do with how amperage is measured on a circuit that has two hot wires plus a neutral, which is what RV 50A service is. Counting amps on a 30A shore power circuit is easy, but 50A service requires extra and more complex hardware..
