GFCI Protection
Each coach has a GFCI, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, protection
receptacle installed into the circuitry. In the event of a ground fault, a
GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of electrical circuit to prevent
serious injury.
Ground fault causes are reverse polarity, faulty insulation, using 2-wire
extension cord, moisture earth ground and defective appliances.
Sometimes you may find this GFCI in the circuit breaker in distribution
box and in receptacle at other times.
The third “round” pin on the receptacle is very important for this safety
device to function correctly. NEVER cut off this pin. When using an
appliance in the receptacle without this provision, use an adapter with a
pigtail to be attached to the receptacle box to complete the circuit.
This GFCI receptacle
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.
Polarity is extremely important. You should be certain that the polarity of
the external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm to appliances
and personal electrical shock. Polarity testers may be purchased in most
electrical and hardware stores with the GFCI tester built in.
During use of the recreational vehicle, it is suggested to test this
receptacle once per month. To test, press the “TEST” button in. The
“RESET” button should pop out. Power should now be turned off at this
receptacle and any receptacles down line. To restore power push, then
release the “RESET” button.
12-volt System
Most interior lights and appliances receive 12-volt power through
converter output and/or the auxiliary battery (not OEM supplied). Exterior
lights and brakes also use 12-volt power from the tow vehicle battery
and/or auxiliary battery through the seven way connecter and wire
attached to the tow vehicle. Following are explanations of various items.
Converter
The heart of your 12-volt system is enclosed inside of the load center,
including 12V fuse panel, 120V breaker panel and converter.
The function of a converter receives 120-volt power and transforms this
energy into 12-volt Power as used in your coach. 12-volt supplies power
for some appliances and interior lights. The floor plan and size of coach
indicate output size. Fuse panel will have numerous fuse positions,
depending on output size of your converter and requirements.
