Brennan Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The power converter on my rv is not working. Does anyone out there know where i could possibly have it repaired? :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Do you mean the 240 to 110 volt power converter so that the American 110 volt bits work? Or the 12V to 240 VAC Inverter Brennan? I presume you don't mean the Onan generator! C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi Clive, No, what i have is a power converter, input 105-130 volts, output 13.6volts 45amp to charge the leisure batteries. it is sealed unit but someone must repair them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi Brennan, It could be anything. Have you checked all the fuses associated with both the input and the output from the converter / charger? Have you actually measured the input coltage with a meter in order to be sure its the converter/charger and not a supply fault? If you are sure it is the "lump" then can you post on here all the nameplate data on it to give us a clue to the technology used and who made it. It may well work out less costly to just purchase a replacement "lump" here in the UK (designed for 240 volt operation) than to get the old one repaired. But if you can give us a clue via the name plate data I can ask my cousin who also has an RV and lives in Houston Texas if spares or perhaps a circuit diagram are obtainable. But don,t hold your breath! C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi Clive, I have had it checked at a local electrical firm and they confirm fuses etc are ok.
