Electronic Current Limiting

In the event that the output current exceeds the maximum rating for the WF-9500 Series 

Power Center converter, the output current will remain constant but the output voltage will 

begin to drop. If this occurs, the unit will recover once loads are reduced.    

Short-Circuit Protection

Should a short circuit occur in the RV, the WF-9500 Series Power Center converter will drop 

the voltage output to zero volts. If the short-circuit condition is removed and no other fault 

conditions are detected, the converter will resume normal operation. However, short-circuit 

conditions are 

dangerous

, and an RV will require inspection by a qualified service 

technician.

 

 

CIRCUIT PROTECTION
WF-9500MBA Series Main Board Assembly Fuses and Breakers

Reverse Battery Protection

The WF-9500MBA Series Main Board Assembly will charge the 12-volt House battery if 

installed.  A battery DOES NOT have to be installed for WF-9500MBA Series Main Board 

Assembly to oper-ate. When a battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses protect the MBA 

circuitry. The fuses are located along the left-center edge of the DC fuse board below the 

VCC+ lug. Refer to Figure 1 below. This feature prevents permanent damage to the MBA 

from a battery connected into the circuit backwards. In addition to protecting the MBA, the 

reverse polarity fuses are the main connection between the MBA and the DC fuse board.

The fuse values and quantity vary depending on which WF-9500MBA Series Main Board 

Assembly you have. Refer to the table below.

•   WF-9540MBA – 25A (2)

•   WF-9560MBA – 35A (2)

•   WF-9580MBA – 30A (3)

The circuit fuses and the Reverse Battery Protection fuses should be replaced with ATC or 

ATO automotive type fuses such as:

•   Littelfuse type 257 

•   Bussmann type ATC
