RE: Setting your Trace Auto Gen Start Parameters

When you're on shore or generator power you are directly connected to the available 120VAC power via the Trace's internal transfer switch. Concurrently with this, the inverter is monitoring the source power and is either using it for battery charging or using the battery power to augment source power if increasing loads cause voltages to dip. Yes, the inverters are wired to power everything. When connected to shore or genny this isn't a problem. Load management is required when there is no shore or genny power and you're on inverter power. In this case you can't run everything at once. I call this condition "oversubscribed". This isn't usually an issue, but it can be one if you're on shore/genny and you lose power. In this case the inverter will step in to resume powering your loads but your loads may exceed 35A per inverter in which case you'll trip an inverter circuit breaker do to an overcurrent condition. So, if you leave your coach while powered by shore or genny be sure to turn off an AC or other loads so the inverter CB doesn't trip if you lose power.

I guess I'm asking should I wait till they are no longer charging and in the float mode for these values ? Al, whenever you see the condition that you're describing, be it on outside power with charging or on inverter power. david brady, '02 Wanderlodge LXi 'Smokey' (Sold), '04 Prevost H3 Vantare 'SpongeBob' "there is no perfect forum there are only perfect forums" |
