The AC output of the generator powers the motorhome air conditioners,
the AC inverter/converter charger, all appliances and items plugged into the
electrical outlets of the motorhome. The number of electrical appliances that
can be operated at any given time depends upon how much power is available
from the generator. If the generator is “overloaded” or a short circuit causes
“over current,” either the generator will shut down or the circuit breaker will
trip. If power consumption, in total, exceeds the generator power output
compensation for temperature and elevation it may be necessary to operate
some appliances in sequence, rather than all at the same time.
NOTE: The generator may shut down when it is loaded nearly
to full power and an air conditioner (or other large motor
load) cycles on. For a brief moment during start up an electric
motor can draw up to three times the rated power. For this
reason it may be necessary to operate some appliances in
sequence when air conditioners or other large motor loads
are on.
It is important to remember that air density decreases as altitude increases,
causing the generator engine power to decrease. Power decreases at approximately
3% of the rated power each 1,000 feet (305M) of increase in elevation above
sea level. It may be necessary to operate fewer appliances at the same time
when the camping location is at a higher elevation. For example: 7,500 watt
generator @ 5,000 ft. = 6,375 watts net. Temperature also affects maximum
output watts. For example: @ 120º a 7,500 watt generator produces 6,000
watts net.
REFERENCE: The diesel generator may shut down for other
reasons besides “overloads.” A blink code may appear on the
control switch. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual to obtain
an explanation of the codes.
If a circuit breaker trips in the main AC breaker panel, or on the generator
control panel, there may be a short circuit or too much load.
NOTE: The generator will continue to run after a circuit
breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off as many loads as possible.
To reset the circuit breaker switch, move the circuit breaker to OFF , then
switch to ON to reconnect the circuit. If the circuit breaker immediately
re-trips the electrical distribution system has a short or the circuit breaker is
faulty. Call a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker does not re-trip reconnect
a combination of loads that will not overload the generator or cause the circuit
breaker to trip again. Remember to compensate for elevation and temperature
changes when reconnecting loads.
