The Electrical System
The 230 Volt Electrical System
WARNING: NEVER START YOUR
MOTORHOME ENGINE WHILST
HOOKED UP TO A 230V SUPPLY.
This can lead to damage to the PDU
and cause internal fires.
The system on your motorhome is comprised
of a 230v and 12v circuit. When connected to
a mains hook your vehicle will take its power
from the 230v mains feed. All sockets and
connections (Including 12v) will recieve power
and function in the correct manner. The
leisure battery will also be charged.
If no mains connection is avalaible the
electrical system will run via the 12v circuit.
All sockets and connections will function
in the correct manner, however, useage
time will be governed by the amount of
charge in your leisure battery (This can
be checked via the seattle control panel).
A solar panel will charge your leisure battery if
the correct amount of light is avalaible.
NOTE: When the motorhome engine
is running power to the habitation
area is isolated. Therefore sockets
and connections will not function.
Power Distribution Unit
The Power Distribution Unit PDU is responsible
for distributing power to the electrical outlets
and systems throughout your motorhome. It
also houses Minature circuit breakers MCD
(1) the Residual Current Device RCD (2) and
all in-line fuses (3). The unit gives overload
and earth leakage protection for the 230V
electrical supply in your motorhome.
For normal operation, all switches on the unit
need to be in the ON position.
In the event of an overload the MCBs “trips”
automatically moves to the OFF position.
After the overload has been removed the MCB
can be reset by switching to the ON position.
If an earth fault develops or a person were to
touch a live piece of equipment, the leakage of
current to earth should immediately operate
the RCD and “trip” the main switch, to its OFF
position. This switch is only resettable after
elimination of the fault.
To reset, operate the switch as for MCBs.
Everytime you connect to a site supply the
RCD should be tested to ensure correction
functionality.
It is possible that all of the 230V mains electrical
equipment may not operate simultaneously.
Having too many appliances switched on at the
same time will trip the MCB. This is a safety
measure.
Many motorhome site mains hook-up points
provide a maximum output of 16 amps. On some
continental sites the available output may be as
low as 5 amps. If your loading exceeds the site
supply it may trip the sites circuit breaker.
When replacing fuses you should always ensure
that you replace the old fuse with a fuse that is
the same type and has the same rating.
NOTE: Always check the available
mains output in amps with your site
operator.
WARNING: No appliance shall be
used outside when being connected
to an internal socket.
