at Quartzsite and apparently just 20 min ago lost Ac power from generator..
Alls been fine .. but decided to run generator for an hour or so before bedtime... and them decided to add some load to it for this period..
wife was running microwave, normal coach lights on, 2 computers.. and I turned on two 1500 Watt electric heaters.... seemed like that should have been approx 50-60% load so i turned on another 750 watt heater .. approx 30 seconds later, lights dimmed slightly, Zantrek panel (Zantrek 3000) jumped back from "AC on" to "inverter' and the "low Battery" indicator also came on.......Quickly turned all heaters off and microwave off .... turned off generator for a few minutes.... restarted generator but the Zantrec panel will not go back to "ac in'.....shut off the generator after a few minutes...
Could this be as simple as maybe a circuit breaker switch popped on the generator or other ideas?
Getting out the manuals....
