the converter is Normally On, when ever 120vac power is available
generator or shore power
the converter keeps your battery charged, while you have 120v power, so it is fully charged and useable when stopped somewhere while traveling to and from, or while camping where there is NO shore power, and your generator is off
such as at night when you need lights, water pump, fridge and heater
all the controls in the RV house section require 12v power, fridge controls, heat and Air controls etc.. lights, water pump
if the converter was OFF, and IF you have NO solar, your batteries would be dead in a few days or less, depending on your 12v power use
