No 110 in the RV on shore power.

On shore power. 50A service.
No 110 inside.

The panel for the inverter - won't stay lit - like it usually does.

Switched off shore power, started generator - same thing.

The RV has a new inverter - that has been working fine for about 8-10 weeks - on shore power.

Thoughts?

Do you know if you have power at the AC panel with the breakers? I would take a meter and see if 120 is making it through the panel.
I doubt GFCI tripped would cause you to lose the whole house.
Do you have any outlets that don't go through the inverter? It is wise to consider the last replacement/maintenance.
Good luck

Do other 120 VAC appliances that are not supplied by the inverter (roof A/C for example work on shore power? Generator?


That will tell you very quickly if 120 VAC is reaching your main breaker panel.


If not, and same symptoms (no 120 VAC to the main 120 VAC breaker panel on both shore and generator, the "common thread" is wiring between ATS "out" and the 120 VAC main breaker panel.


With everything off/disconnected, open ATS and breaker panel and check connections.

The galley fluorescent fixture - which is 110V - doesn't work, either. I cannot imagine it would be on GFCI.

If the breakers on the inverter are not tripped then I would suspect you have a bad inverter!

I’m thinking along the same lines as Twinboat, this has happened to me when my cord reel contacts went bad. My contacts were bad on my cord reel and they would break contact then when you bump the cord they would reconnect this created a surge of power and tripped the circuit breakers on the inverter. I eliminated my cord reel. Not saying the reel is your issue but making a point of my experience hoping it helps.

You did not mention if you tripped and rest your breakers. If not I would do that as well if the inverse breakers aren’t tripped.

Another thought if all of the above did not resolve your issue is possibly you may have problems with your transfer switch since your power from both shore and generator runs through the transfer switch.

Good luck hopefully it is a simple fix. Please respond and let us know.

The service rep that installed the inverter is due out tomorrow morning. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

I had the same issue a couple of years ago and it was my Transfer Switch. I had to go in and reroute the wires and ran on generator until they could send me a new one. That is the first thing I’d check. Good Luck.

No inverter panel may mean dead or disconnected, batteries or blown large fuse.

If I press the "power share" button - it lights up, but won't stay lit.

Technician's troubleshooting indicates the new inverter is 'bad'.

He measures AC voltage going in - and no volts coming out.

It's under warranty - but, we are planning to MOVE and we plan to use the RV as transportation and temporary lodging on both ends.

Timing will be critical. Critical.

Does anyone have any contacts at Xantrex that we might contact to expedite this?

If you are desperate, you can always remove the AC in and the AC out and wire them together. It will bypass the inverter, but give you shore or generator power to the panel.

Hi I would check the wirers coming in to the fuse box, there should be three or four wires usually all in a row. take the front cover from the fuse box and check the wires with the power off for tightness, you can usually tighten them with a flat tip screwdriver. These wires power the unit on shore power or gen set. charlie in texas
