The amount of current it takes to trip the
device from a ground fault varies slightly from
the different outlet or breaker manufacturer
(approximately 4 to 6 milliamps).
NOTE:
One milliamp is 1/1000 of one Amp.
Electrical shocks resulting from ground
faults can be felt, but such a shock is
considerably less than one without ground
fault protection. People with medical
conditions that make them susceptible to shock
can still be seriously injured. A GFCI outlet or
breaker will not protect against shock from a
normal current flow.
Example:
a shock from
touching both metal prongs of an electrical
cord or appliance while plugging it in.
CAUTION:
GFCI outlets do not protect sensitive
electronic equipment such as laptops
from voltage surge. Plug sensitive
electronic equipment into a separate
surge protection device.
NOTE:
Test the ground fault outlet or breaker
once a month to ensure it is operating.
Use the TEST button on the outlet or
breaker. It should trip with an audible
“click.” The breaker or outlet will not
trip if AC power is not present at the
device. If power is present and the
device will not trip, replace it before
using that circuit.
WARNING:
If a breaker or outlet continually
trips, do not continue to reset breaker
or outlet until the problem has been
identified and corrected.

The power converter provides filtered
12 Volt DC power to the lighting and appliance
circuits. The converter charges and maintains
the battery. The power converter is built into
the load center. There are some tests that can
be performed to ensure the power converter is
functioning properly.
Output on the fuse terminals should
read 13.6 Volts DC +/- .3 Volts.
Inspect the fuses to ensure they are not
blown.
Power requirements for the converter is
120 Volts AC.
If the converter output is correct, but the
battery is not charging, check the connections
on the battery for corrosion or an “open” wire
between the converter and battery.
If there is no interior power, the converter
fuses may be blown. If the converter fuses are
blown, the battery may have been connected
in reverse polarity. Correct as necessary. If the
converter has AC power and the fuses are good
but there is no output from the converter, the
converter may bad. Have a qualified technician
diagnose and repair the problem.
Fuses
The 12 Volt DC fuses are the standard
automotive type. When a fuse is “blown”,
the wire in middle of the plastic case will be
burnt. A broken, bad or “blown” fuse must be
replaced with a fuse of the same rating and
type. Using a fuse with a different rating or
type will defeat the circuit protection provided
by that fuse and could result in damage to the
electrical system.
