Basic RV AC/DC Systems
12 Volt Side of Life
RV Electrical Systems
RV Electricity Explained
The 'converter' has a 120V AC input and a 13.2V DC output (minimum.....can be up to 14.4V when bulk charging your batteries)
It supplies the RV 12V DC system with power when RV is connected to an AC power source. Batteries supply the needed 12V DC when NOT connected to AC Source
AC Panel is just like electric panel in house.....has MAIN breaker and individual circuit breakers for microwave, A/C Unit, outlets, electrical heat elements in fridge/water heater, converter.
DC area has fuses that are for the various items......furnace, water pump, lighting, control circuits for fridge/water heater/ A-C Unit, landing gear/stabilizing jacks, roof vent fans
And if you mess with batteries..........
TAKE A DETAILED PICTURE PRIOR TO DISCONNECTING ANY CABLES!!!!
