AC DISTRIBUTION CENTER
When 120-volt AC is connected to the power center through commercial power or the generator,
the 120-volt AC circuits are protected by the breakers contained in the AC panel board. 120-volt
AC circuits may be turned off by flipping the breaker to indicate “OFF” or turned on by flipping
the breaker to indicate “ON”. The circuits may be reset by first turning it off and then back on.
CONSUMPTION OF 120-VOLT ENERGY
As owners desire and purchase more convenience appliances, remember that your motorhome has
a maximum of 30 amps of incoming power. Keep in mind that each appliance, when used in
conjunction with each other, places an added draw on your 30-amp system. You may periodically
trip a circuit breaker if you exceed the 30-amp capabilities.
Increasing the size of your circuit breakers to accommodate additional appliances is NOT an
option.
y
WARNING: Do not replace breakers or fuses with any rated at a higher amperage.
Over fusing may cause a fire by over heating the wire.
A main breaker is always the maximum 30-amps incoming power and is located on the left side.
GFCI
Each recreation vehicle has a Ground Fault Current Interrupter (Fig. 4-30)
breaker built into the vehicle. This breaker has been designed to reduce the
possible injury caused by electric shock.
An example of ground fault current is the current which would flow
through a person who is using or touching an appliance with faulty
insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical ground
such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor or earth.
This GFCI breaker will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The
circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical panel, which supplies power to the
circuit, provides this protection.
When the GFCI breaker is tripped, it has interrupted ground fault current
caused by such things as faulty insulation or wet wiring inside an
appliance or equipment connected to the circuit. The faulty equipment should be repaired before it
is used again.
This breaker should be tested monthly while the camper is being used.
Testing Instructions
1. Plug a lamp or radio into the receptacle on the face of the GFCI.
2. Push and release the RESET button.
3. The lamp should light at this time.
4. Press the TEST button.
5. RESET button should pop out indicating "Trip" and the lamp should go out. (If the GFCI is
manufactured with an indicator light, the light should glow when the device has tripped.)
