[amputee_rver]

Hello all,
I have B-w Manufactures power converter,
series 6300 A model 6332.
I have been living in my rv since my leg
was amputated .long story short
every thing was working fine for the last 2 years
Heater, fridg ,Ac
any way I was cleaning and hit the door on the power center
and the power went off when I opened the door the power came back on
I went in to the house and unplugged the rv went and check the breakers 2 of the three were loose I took the panel off and found that two of them were melted as well as the holder that holds them in.
but any way im on disability and don't get much money
is there a place where I can get the breakers and the part that holds them in
any advice would be wonderful
thank you

The stabs that the breakers plug onto are generally aluminum, and when poor connections occur, they heat up alot. You can easily see what brand breakers they are and get new ones at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. For about $4 each. The problem is finding a power panel or at least the bus bar to replace the old one, which you say is burned. A RV salvage yard might be a good choice.

Bestconverter.com is familiar with power panels and may also be able to help you identify it and locate parts.

Indeed, connections need to all be tightened about once a year to prevent this.

Are these 120V AC breakers? Assuming so, the breakers themselves are a standard household style breakers and readily available at hardware or electrical supply stores and are not too expensive. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "the part that holds them in", whether it's the bus bar or some other part; regardless, it may be available as well as a replacement part, or you may have to replace the whole electrical panel.

I would suggest inspecting the wires connecting to the breakers and others in the area very carefully. Chances are good that a loose connection screw or two is what made them overheat, and quite possibly the heat also damaged some wires as well.

You'll get more precise help if you post a picture of the problematic parts.
