Weird Electrical Issue

[Jason Worman]

Good morning all,
So woke up this morning and found inverter breaker tripped. Fridge had switched to propane at some point. Nothing running at night. Reset breaker, no load on the system, switched on the command panel. Shows we have 120 volt AC on each Leg coming in but, 0 amps going out on each leg. 12Volt amp slot on panel showing usual number of amps. I know it's an analog panel so not super reliable. Checked each battery and each one has 13.6 volts. DC system is running fine. Puzzled over the situation. Don't want to put much of a load on the breaker, for now won't run Microwave, dehumidifier, or big draw items. Any thoughts? Reset breaker and switched fridge back to AC, panel still showing 0 amps of usage on either leg.

Perhaps reset the breaker on the inverter?  Not at the panel but on the inverter itself?  It's sounding like the inverter is not letting the 120v pass through.

    Hi Jason, Is there a sub-panel for all the inverter powered circuits? I have forgotten where it is located. Maybe a galley cabinet or down in a compartment? The pass thru relay when on shore power feeds that sub panel. Is your inverter the original Heart Interface? if so I have one for sale with the remote. The enclosed picture not very good, let me know, hope this helps, Fred

Hello everyone,

I did what my grandfather taught us, which is to start at the very beginning. I turned off all the breakers both AC and DC. Disconnected the coach including the battery shut off. Left everything sit for a couple of hours, came back and turned on each item one at a time. Everything seemed to reset okay, now have power as usual. Will keep an eye on things. I could not find a subpanel for the inverter. Just have one large panel with all the breakers. Currently have a Xantrex Freedom 458 2000 Watt Inverter.  Thanks for everyone's input. Fred hope to meet you one day at a rally.
