ongoing generator issue
I had some problems with my generator but just had a new control panel and interface installed by a certified dealer. It is now running fine but it trips when my RV A/C compressor kicks on. Gen shop...

What you really need, is, to have a AMP draw readout AT the Compressor when the compressor tries to start. THAT will tell you if you have a compressor that is starting/is failing. The fact you stated that on CG 30 amp it would trip on rare occasions-----Remember, the AC unit is ON a 20 amp CB in the RV. So, IF the AC is pulling in excess of 20 amps, THAT 20 amp breaker should trip first, not the 30 amp CG breaker. NOW, IF you trip a 30 amp CG breaker, that points to YOUR RV pulling in excess of 30 amps, which is usually the case when you have the WH on 120(11 amps)and the refer on 120(2.5 amps), then the start load of the compressor(14 to 16 amps) and then the Fan motor (1.6 to 2.0 amps). Have you tried using your Genset on a fellow RV'ers unit to see what happens? Doug
