No AC power at Inv/conv.

I have no AC power to the bathroom GFI and the inverter/converter. Power panel shows 50 amp. Checked all the circuit breakers under the bed. Any where else to look?

  • power to breakers but none on the out side of that breaker?
  • I used a known good GFCI in the bathroom. I don't have power to it. Circuit breakers not tripped. Power ok to them.

    In this case.. The GFCI is normally the second thing off the branch circuit breaker (The first thing is of course the wire that connects them) so i'd check there.. using a meter or test lamp make sure you have power to the "LINE IN" terminals on the back of the GFCI.

    The wire coming off the breaker (#2 place to check is the screws in the breaker box by the way) #3 is the breaker itself, and unless there are junctions or other devices between Breaker and GFCI there is no #4)

    The Wire is normally Romex, Solid wire,, The leads on the GRCI are stranded wire, Often they wire nut, or cap nut (Crimp on) the connection, Neither is all that great a connection method. They have been known to come loose.

    IF GFCI is in a slide out there will be additional junction boxes, Same comment (under the slide)

    And of course Bad GFCI's do exist,, thousands of them at any given time.
