In this video we show you how to test your rv power converter and we aslo explain ho.
Rv converter box fan.
The resistors and circuit board of an rv power converter.
In here the reading should be approximately 120 volts ac at its input and 14 volts dc at its output port.
If the reader achieves the 120 volt reading mark but not the 14 volt mark there is a problem with the transformer.
At the entry point the voltage should be between 108 and 130 volts.
Some models have it riveted to the converter box and its reading should be in the range of 3 13 volts.
This will be determined by the charge present in your battery.
In general the converter fan is powered by a 110 volt ac source.
Another sign that your rv converter went bad is abnormal voltage ranges.
High amperage charge of the battery means low water high level of discharge or battery that is probably ready to need replacement.
I would recommend upgrading to the newer digital model which will provide a cleaner power source runs cooler and is much quieter.
In some of the rv power converters a resistor controls the voltage to the batteries and the 12 volt dc system.
The rv battery and the dc breaker box system are utilized by rv power converters to control voltage running.

Another of the best rv power converter that you can choose is the pd9260cv from progressive dynamics.
The fan only works intermittently because it s only activated when the surrounding temperature reaches a certain level.
Power converter employs a fan to keep the component cool while the unit is in operation and you could hear it as well.

Anything in this range is within normal.
Thanks for visiting the rv repair club site and sorry about the issue with your converter fan.
They connect to a heat sink usually made of finned aluminum which drains operational heat from the diodes.
When the heat sink becomes hot a thermostat temperature sensor circuit closes and a cooling fan switches on to cool the heat sink.
This may happen in either the entry point where 110v ac supply enters the rv converter or in the 12v dc breaker box.
Magnetek does not recommend replacement of just the cooling fan on the older models such as your 94 brave.
Fan running in the converter is due to heat buildup caused by high amount of conversion of 120 volts to 12 volts which is caused usually by 12 volt tv usage or high amperage charge of the battery.
The converter comprises diodes which supply 12 volt power to the rv and these diodes create heat.
