I lost power to my inverter converter and can't find a fuse for the AC power. Also, no power to the GFI in the bathroom. Anywhere else to look for fuses, circuit breakers, etc?

By converter do you mean battery charger?

Or do you mean an inverter that takes 12 volts dc and turns it into 120 volts ac?

You should have a stack of circuit breakers some place. Have you found them? Have you turned them all off firmly then back on?

Next you may need a voltmeter or voltage detector.

There may also be one or more circuit breakers of some sort on the inverter itself that have tripped. I think often they are the pushbutton style (such as is sometimes found on outlet strips).

First Power TO the inverter/converter likely comes from a breaker, often a 30 amp one, in your main breaker panel (that is 120 volt power) 12 volt power comes from a rather large fuse called a "T" fuse.

The GFCI likely get's its power from the Inverter so you have one problem, not two.

Some inverters (mine for example)( OFF is OFF and I mean OFF, no power passes through the box. Standby, on the other hand, lets me use this computer off shore power.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.
