120 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Provides general information about the components and functions of the 120 Volt Electrical System

(AC) in Newmar coaches.

POWER SOURCES

There are three types of alternating current (AC) power sources available to the coach: shore power, generator power,

and inverter power. Shore power is provided by the RV park or by home service outlets and should be used whenever

possible. Generator power should mainly be used when shore power is not available, specifically while traveling, when

120 Volt power is necessary to run high amperage loads, or when dry camping requires 120 Volt for battery charging.

Inverted power is mainly used for light 120 Volt loads when shore power is not available and generator power is not

desired.

GENERATOR POWER

Generator power is produced within the generator and is

output through the main wiring to the transfer switch. From

the transfer switch, the power moves to the main breaker

box where it is dispersed to individual circuits (outlets) and

hard-wired components such as a water heater or boiler.

From the inverted circuits, generator power will then travel

through the inverter’s internal transfer switch and back to

the inverted subpanel to be dispersed through the individual

breakers to the outlets or appliances.

INVERTER POWER

This type of power starts at the battery bank. The battery

bank supplies 12 Volt power through cables to the inverter,

which uses the 12 Volt direct current to produce 120 Volt

alternating current. The inverter performs this action by

using a transformer to increase the voltage and modify the

higher voltage into a useable alternating current power.

Power then goes to the inverted sub panel, which is

dispersed through the individual breakers to the outlets or

appliances.
The inverter may provide battery charging while 120 Volts is

supplied via the generator or shore power. The inverter

performs this action by using the transformer to decrease

the voltage and rectify the alternating current into useable

direct current voltage. This is regulated by internal sensing

circuitry based upon the battery bank’s state of charge and

several other factors, depending on the coach's particular

inverter brand and type.
