Can a converter cause AC problems
Hi Gang, was wondering if DC converter could go bad and cause shorts on the AC side? Pretty sure I have a converter go bad ( no DC power between positive & neutral) and caused my GFCI outlets to get ...

Proper terminology goes a long way in helping to understand the problem. A DC source is typically measured between positive and ground (or negative), not neutral.
At the moment, since you didn't mention anything other then GCFI going out, I'd consider them two separate issues.
Is the breaker for the 110 for the converter tripped?
Not to be a smart a$$, but you are apparently not familiar with my type of DC conver (IOTA 30 amp). There are output lugs labeled "positive, neutral, & ground". Between positive & neutral the output is zero. Between positive & ground the output is 20.7v.
None would be familiar with my converter. Someone actually put a sticker over the Negative output side labeled neutral. wth. Not sure why anyone would do that.
So now I know I have zero output DC output volts between positive & negative. No output.
