![]() Battery state shows correctly on panel.Ĭould the huge fuse between the charger/inverter be blown ? How would I check it ? That fuse is between the charger and battery bank ( Four Newer- 2 year old Crown 6V in series ). Checked all circuit breakers and no apparent problem there. ![]() On the front of inverter green charge light is on. When hooked to shore power control panel far right LED says 50 amps incoming breaker, on far left AC IN LED on, charger light on. I shut everything down except I did not put it in storage mode. This morning 12 hours later they were at 11.7 with only the systems I don't know about running. Last night batteries were at 7.8 volts and running engine 15 minutes brought them up to 12.8. They will charge from running the engine via the alternator.

I still have to determine the wire size but observation is 12 but external AC wiring is to be 10. My thoughts are the hot connector changed the properties of circuit breaker thus tripping at less than 25 amps. The wire crimp had failed but hung in there to make charcoal of plastic and melt a few copper strands. The Circuit Breaker-Wire connection was by a spade terminal. ![]() Next I lifted a few circuit cards to see where a piece of wire had been attached to the circuit breaker. I removed the inverter and removed the cover. The people at TN were the most helpful I told the fellow the suspected part problem and he told the relays were mounted on a card but the circuit breaker was a serviceable part.( good news I was suspecting a part soldered to a board.)
