Generator 110 question

Not sure if giving details will help with this question but, I have an Onan Microquiet 4.0 with 2 12 volt coach batteries.
Question is; I tried to turn my TV on with the Gen running and no current, is it normal because of the load running only AC and lights to NOT have the 110 attached to the Generator or am I missing something ?

    Forgot I turned off the breakers when I blew the fuse..

  • AC is working. blew a fuse last week on the panel but replaced.
    So the Generator should be running all 110 outlets right ?
  • If you are getting the 110VAC for the A/C...(lights are 12VDC system), then you are probably getting the power from the generator, so it may be a tripped breaker or even the GFI outlet in the bathroom that may have tripped.
    Check to see if you are getting voltage at these outlets.
    If the A/C is not working, then you could very well have a problem with the transfer switch, the generator, or how you have the system set up (as mentioned above, some units require you to plug the shore power cable into an outlet from the Genset).

    Good luck
  • Did you conn. the shore power cord to the 30 amp outlet by the gen. to power the MH? This has to be done if there is no Auto Transfer switch.
