Replacing magnetek tu 740 2

[brownlee908]

Hello,



I am looking to replace my converter it is a magetek tu 740 2. The wiring looks a little weird. Theres 3 wires on the negative side coming from the trailer gthat connect to one wire coming from the converter. And two wires coming from the positive side to one from the converter. I'm looking at replacing with a progressive dynamics 9245, but not sure how I would wire it in being that there's three negative wires and 2 positive and only 2 wire slots on the new converter.


Thanks

The Magnetek converter-charger TU-740-2 probably includes the circuit breakers and fuse panel in your RV. Some models also included an inverter.

These devices all have a 120 volt input. That input most likely comes from the circuit breaker panel. If you have an inverter, it will also have a 120 volt output. (An inverter converts 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC.) Do you have an inverter?

They all have a 12 volt DC output. It probably has two 12 volt outputs. One goes to the fuse panel. That would be the converter output. (A converter changes 120 volts AC to 12 volts DC for house lights, pumps, and things.)

If a second 12 volt output is present, it would go to the battery for charging.

Replacing with a modern converter charger.

Modern converter chargers usually have only one 12 volt DC output. The charger and converter function are combined into one. The two 12 volt outputs can be combined into one.

The converter/charger portion of the Magnetek can be replaced independently of the circuit breaker panel. See the following:
