Power to inverter and bathroom gfi

I lost power to my inverter converter and can't find a fuse for the AC power. Also, no power to the GFI in the bathroom. Anywhere else to look for fuses, circuit breakers, etc?
  • By converter do you mean battery charger?

    Or do you mean an inverter that takes 12 volts dc and turns it into 120 volts ac?
  • You should have a stack of circuit breakers some place. Have you found them? Have you turned them all off firmly then back on?

    Next you may need a voltmeter or voltage detector.
  • There may also be one or more circuit breakers of some sort on the inverter itself that have tripped. I think often they are the pushbutton style (such as is sometimes found on outlet strips).

    First Power TO the inverter/converter likely comes from a breaker, often a 30 amp one, in your main breaker panel (that is 120 volt power) 12 volt power comes from a rather large fuse called a "T" fuse.

    The GFCI likely get's its power from the Inverter so you have one problem, not two.

    Some inverters (mine for example)( OFF is OFF and I mean OFF, no power passes through the box. Standby, on the other hand, lets me use this computer off shore power.
