Minimum allowed drop on ac voltage
I am trying to run a elect heater off my 120 20 amp circuit plugged in at home. It drops to around 104 volts when using. Will this cause any problems?
Forum Discussion
what is the voltage with the heater off? plug it into another outlet (not in the trailer) and what is the voltage there? I would guess either a loose connection in a plug somewhere, or you are on a VERY long (and possible to small) extension cord.
If it is just a heater, 104 won't hurt it, bot there may be other things in the trailer that don't like that low voltage - I would trip the rest of the breakers, and google the specs on your converter to see the minimum required voltage.
