No AC from Inverter

Yahoo Message Number: 83835
On the road in Casper, Wy and woke up to no outlet power. Checked the GFI and no output, replaced and still no AC. Trace Eng. company out of business along with Intertrix,
The inverter is charging battery but get blinking green light when inverter is turned on.
Is there a circuity breaker some where to reset? AC panel and house power are working ok.

Any assistance appreciated.

Paul,

Re-set the inverter by turning it off & then back on. When I had my 02 Intrigue this solved the problem for me.

Good Luck,

Paul,

I failed to mention in my previous e-mail that the inverter should be re-set at the inverter--not from the remote switch.

Fred,

Thanks, I have turned off power to Inverter as AC circuit breaker but still no AC output.

We have a breaker (push button) on the inverter. Ours is 15A and we pop it once in awhile when we run the toaster and hair dryer at the same time. Check that.

Jucy and Joe,

Thanks, the inverter has a 25 amp button on it, pressed and did not seemed to be popped. Wondering if there is another sub panel on coach? Microwave works but outlets and TV don't.

Further checks found Microwave works on inverter too. Looks like one leg has no output. Could be internal transfer relay only half working.
Problem started this AM after plugging in Coffee maker. Usually GFT has tripped in an overload, but not this time.

We had the exact same problem (MW worked, but no other oulets worked) and resetting the 20 amp button on the inverter fixed the problem. There are two 20 amp reset buttons on our inverter.

I had exactly the same symptoms. It was the circuit board. Chris Snyder removed the inverter, sent it off to get the board repaired. Not cheap.

Couple of things to look at:

The inverters usually have at least 2 outputs, one for the GFI and the other that goes to the uWave. Mine has separate breakers.
Check the voltage input to the GFI. If there is a ground fault somewhere in that circuit the GFI will not reset.
There is a transfer relay in the inverter that bypasses the inverter when there is shore power. Turn your shore power off and turn the inverter on and see if you have voltage.
If this doesn't sort out the problem then the inverter may be at fault. Not sure if there is anything else that could be the problem.

Before you pull the inverter, check your duplex outlets with one of those $1.99 testers (yellow, with a series of lights that indicate open neutral, etc.) That might be your problem.

Both Country Coaches which I have owned have a CB on the inverter front. This feeds the ground fault CB and will give you the exact symptom you describe.

Anyone with an Intrigue know where the GFI circuit breaker is for the microwave/outlets? My Magna has it in the first bay.

Jay, Have you checked you circuit breakers on your generator, do you have power to TV when it is running?

We had same problem and I learned that I had to hold the reset buttton in for abut 5 seconds for it to actually reset. Called wife at home depot to tell her not to get new one, too late. Now we have a spare in the spare box.
