Hi Enblethen,
- Checked the 12v output...shorted by accident and tripped a breaker. I was in a panic for a few minutes until I found the breaker that was tripped. Working on a friends MH, my goal is do no harm.
- Verified 120v input to the converter
- Converter has two 30A fuses and verified they are both good with an ohm meter.
The Converter is a Magnetek 7400 series. At least it matches the description given on Best Converters website where they list obsolete converters. The converter has one green wire that is grounded to the frame, and two black wires. One goes to the breaker panel, the other I assume toward the front of the MH where I found the tripped breaker.
I would recommend they get a new converter but want to be sure we know what the problem is before moving on to improvements.
Thanks for the inputs,
Rolin
