Converter should have continued to supply DC Dist System even with the reverse polarity fuses blown (they isolate battery from converter to protect converter)
Not necessarily. For example, the Progressive Dynamics converter instructions here show only 2 wires from the converter to the battery and loads. The fuses protect the converter by isolating it from everything, not just the battery.
So what may have happened is the blown fuses meant no 12V charging and the A/C & fridge ran until the battery drained enough to cause them to fail. With the replaced fuses, the converter immediately supplied 12V power for charging and use by the A/C and fridge.
True for that model of converter.
Would explain how AC/Fridge had low DC voltage.
Mine feeds DC Dist Panel with separate cable connection......reverse polarity fuses isolate battery.
DC system supplied IF on AC power just no battery charging.
