I see a lot of comments that are proper for the power dropping when the compressor kicks IN. but he said it happens when the compressor kicks OUT.
I do not know if the RV has an inverter or a "Surge Guard" but ....
Some inverters do not switch over fast enough to prevent reset on SOME clocks.
And there are many parallels between electricity and water. For example we speak of the FLOW of electrical current (And for good reasons)
Wires are like pipes Too small a wire and you loose voltage as current increases
Too small a pipe.. Pressure as Flow Rate (Amprage or GPM) increases.
Well unless you have some devices called water hammer arresters when you suddenly shut off the flow of water.. The PIPES rattle.
If you had a very responsive pressure gauge at the faucet you'd see a SPIKE in pressure, followed by some rollarcoasting and finally normal pressure.
Same with electricity. This is a SURGE which the guard will cut you off for. And by the time the inverter kicks in the clock resets.
No surge guard. No inverter ( My inverter is a separate entity and not tied into the rv's electrical a/c side).
So we can all assume its an over voltage situation when a/c kicks off. In turn it shuts the converter off for split second.
What part of converter would cause this?
