Progressive Dynamics converter location
Hi everyone, new to posting here. Hoping to get some input on what I am thinking of. We have a newer (<1 year) RV and while the converter in my WFCO 8955 "works" it only charges in the float 13.2v ...

This is what I did for a similar WFCO 8900 Series Power Distribution center with a WF8945 Converter/charge module in the bottom compartment.
Both the WF8945 and the PD9260C converter/chargers are in working order and I just simply flip the 120VAC circuit breaker for the one I want to use. I have never run both of them at the same time...
My WF8945 unit was new so I didn't have the guts to yank it out and just replace it with the PD9260C which was my original thought of doing.
I instead installed the PD9260C about 5-feet away from my Battery Bank main switch where the WFCO 8900 series Power Distribution panel and WF8945 converter/charger unit is some 17-feet away.
I used 4AWG cable from the DC OUT connection from the WF8900 series connection. Note the PD9260C has dual DC connections on it panel so it was easy to daisy chain connections as shown in the drawing...
I normally run the PD9260C all the the time but do have the WF-8945 unit as a new back-up if needed...
Been setup this way since early 2009 with no problems having both converter/chargers installed...
Some folks would rather both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE DC battery cables the whole distance but I elected to to rub POSITIVE cables. My NEGATIVE DC connections all go to a single FRAME GROUND point.
