Hello and Merry Christmas !
On the 86 coach there is a 110 electrical sub panel with two breakers in the rear closet . Nearby are two boxes with grey covers over what I believe are contactors . The breakers are marked 13 ( refrigerator ) and 14 ( chandelier / air compt .(?) . There is currently no fridge connected , but with the breaker on one contactor buzzes and the outlet for fridge is hot . I have been keeping the two ( 13 & 14 ) breakers off ,but this morning I flipped them both on and heard a new sound coming from left front for about 45 seconds before going quiet . I think it was the air compressor , which has previously had no power going to it . I believe the contactors are for inverter operation , but I'm not sure the 800 watt Winco inverter will start or power the air compressor . I have thought the 800 inverter was for refrigerator and the 200 watt for the TVs . Neither one of the converter/ inverters work at the moment . Perhaps the 14 breaker is bad ?
I have considerable DC experience ( still learning ) , not so much AC , and I'm fuzzy on the electrics of this Newell . I'm a determined to learn how it works so I can get everything functioning as well as possible for a device of this age.
Thanks ,Chris
