SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable on the date of manufacture.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP Your motor home is equipped with a 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system. The entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg. Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal 120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system and appliances.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could damage the motor home electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury. PLUG INTO 50-AMP SERVICE ONLY. Do not hook up the 50-amp power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP Maintenance Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Have the power cord replaced immediately if these symptoms are noticed. POWER CONVERTER The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to useable 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord is connected to an external power source. The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should overheating occur.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP Do not use a cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or to break the continuity of the power cord grounding circuit. Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that is not grounded or adapt the 50 amp power cord plug to connect to a receptacle for which it is not designed. Do not remove the power cord grounding terminal to allow connection with a non-grounded receptacle.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP Always wear eye protection when working with batteries. Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the battery as the battery may explode. Do not use a booster battery or any other power source that has an output that exceeds 12volt. Use adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space. HOUSE BATTERIES Your motor home has many 12-volt DC loads. When combined, their total load requires more power than the converter can produce.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP CHASSIS BATTERIES Each chassis is built with batteries to provide energy to start the engine and operate devices supplied with the chassis. The chassis battery is furnished and warranted by the chassis manufacturer (as applicable). ISOLATOR SOLENOID When house batteries are installed in parallel circuitry with the chassis battery, the charge level in both connected batteries will naturally equalize.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 50 AMP Before starting the generator CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the genset when your motor home is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can accumulate. 1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working. 2. Turn “off” air conditioners and all other appliances. 3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 50 AMP INVERTER CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal injury or death. To reduce exposure to these hazards, always disable AGS before: You motor home is equipped with a factoryinstalled inverter that converts 12-volt DC current to 120-volt AC current. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the inverter function and operation. The inverter should be “off” when not in use.
