electrical question
Hi. I'm having electrical problems with my ceiling lights. My rig has a generator, inverter, power converter, house batteries, etc. I think my house batteries are "dead" and i need to get them tested, but still curious if the symptoms below would be any different with new house batteries.
The engine is running and the generator is running. Battery disconnect is disengaged. Single light on over the stove . Inverter is on and reading 13.2 input. Turned on main dining area lights. after a couple of seconds, lights are flashing and inverter said 13.0, then down to 12.5. Now, the Inverter just went black and all of the lights just went black. I turned off the dining area lights and the inverter came back on and reading 13.5 and the light over the stove is back on. Repeated the same process and the inverter dipped to 12.5 before it and all of the ceiling lights went black. Now it's trying to come back on after 10 seconds. The inverter is flashing OL - E05 indicating an overload. I pressed the reset button on the inverter, but still flashing OL - E05.
i was thinking with the generator running, even with dead house batteries, the ceiling lights should be working? Not flashing and then going out?
Thanks for your ideas and comments.
Jeff
