Problem with Inverter

Have an Itasca Sunova 33C and have the following code is showing up on my Xantrex Pro XM1000 - EO3 OL. I know its an overload but everything else in the trailer is running normal. Don't know why it is showing the overload but I don't know how to clear it.
  • What do you have plugged into the inverter outlet? Unplug everything and disconnect power from the inverter. Reconnect power and see if the code returns. That inverter is a modified sine wave model and certain things cannot be connected to it. They either won't work or will overload it. Also it is only a 1,000 watt unit so no large power drawing appliances. It is typically designed to run the TV and related equipment when the generator isn't running. Another possible cause could be undersized 12v DC supply wiring. Depending on the length of run you may need 1 gauge or larger wire.
  • Thanks msturtz for your great help and advice. I shut off the inverter and opened my house battery breaker and the code reset to normal. Thanks again for the advice. Got me out of a jam and made my wife a happy camper.
