I have run two different RVs, independently, off of a ground faulted outlet on my deck for weeks at a time. That outlet is daisy chained through and at the end of five other outlets all wired with 14. I used a 100 foot number 14 extension cord with a 15 foot number 10 extension cord in the middle and adapted to the 50 amp cord at the MH.
I ran one air conditioner, watched TV (86 watts) and read the manuals of my new rig so I probably even had on at least one light and that was in August. My rig shuts off at 109 volts and the Viseo probably before that.
I tried to run 2 (2002) and (2008) both diesel pushers motor homes off a GFI protected outlet (at separate times) and the GFI blows.I then took out the GFI and the systems would power up however I have to set the factory built in PM level at like 10-15 amps.If Iam running the converter and say run the large hydraulic slide out or in, the PM shuts down the converter for a short time.If I try and run something out of a plug in that draws say 10 amps it will not do so.PM shuts her down so In my case the AC is out of the question.
that is why I don't understand how people here say they run their converter,TV,sound system and AC all off a 15 amp circuit and through 100 ft cord
there is no way that will work no way(all at same time) .I also ran a small c through a short cord on another occasion (friend visting/different outlet) and AC would run but if it started hot it poped the standard breaker. The voltage at my house is super good.Gauge reads 124 volts @small load) where am I going wrong here
Is this deal happening in my unit because of the large converter and the PM system is too sensitive ? After removing the GFI I found out on a forum all u have to do is shut down any opposing GFI protected circuits in the MH as GFI to GFI will not work? I never reinstalled the GFI but what more than one electrical person told me this??
Ok I removed the "don't believe" because apparently it offends some posters.its was not intended to offend it was a figure of speech I sometimes use when iam trying to figure out a certain situation where one person or 2 say it works fine and yet when I try the same thing using different senerios it wont work for me
I actually out of frustration went out and shut down my converter all breakers off except one roof AC.As soon as the AC trys to start a big warning on EMS says
voltage too low warning may go to invert. the voltage measure about 122 today as its warm out.that is why I don't see how? not only did one person run the AC they ran the converter,the Tv and the stereo deal all at the same time and in hot weather and through a small 100ft cord to boot
that's what iam trying to understand what is the difference here. why it works on a old old unit and not on a much newer more complex unit
