incoming power drawing 1998 dynasty

Look in the Downloads section in the Electrical catagory, there are a bunch of wiring diagrams but unfortunately there is not one for a 1998 model dynasty.  There is one for either a 1997 or 1999 model which should be pretty close to yours.

Agree with others, if you have a multimeter pull it out and start checking voltage at the power source and move on to the main service panel.

Hi am looking for a incoming power drawing have looked in downloads lots of stuff after the breaker panel , have no 120 power nothing tripped at the inverter or in the breaker box , have power going in to transfer switch. 

 

 

Thanks Mike

Couple of quick questions...

When you say 120 VAC????  Define that....

Your 120 VAC interior outlets are fed THROUGH the Inverter.  There is an ATS inside it (most models....your manual will tell you).  You HAVE to have a decent set of batteries hooked up to the Inverter for it to properly "SWITCH AND SUPPLY" the interior ac outlets (TV, Microwave, convenience).  

The 30 Amp Breaker in the Main panel supplies that to the Inverter.  The inverter does not draw NEAR that much for charging.  The inverter is, in effect....a SECOND ATS...and is has to have battery power to work.

If you have a block heater, check it....if you have power there...it is an INVERTER ISSUE.  If you can run an AC or your W/D or your Refrigerator (Assuming you have a AC/Gas unit)....then you HAVE POWER...

If NONE of the above, which do NOT go through the inverter do NOT work.....then you have an ATS issue. 

NOW....IF you have the IOTA 50R ATS....then that COULD be the issue.  That ATS is a fire and safety hazard was RECALLED (When Monaco went bankrupt....then our older MH's were not included....).  It MUST be replaced.  The ESCO LPT50BRD is on of the most commonly used replacements and you can search here and get info.

OK.....the OTHER ITEMS work....as in the AC, W/D, Water Heater, whatever....then you have an ISSUE in the Inverter.

Look for Circuit Breakers on the Inverter.  Just because your remote says charging and such....there is NO indication that you have outgoing power.  If you interior outlets are dead and the microwave is dead....there should be Pin Type Circuit Breakers on the Inverter...PUSH THEM IN.

No Joy, then you may have an INTERNAL inverter issue.  Magnum's have instructions for resetting.  ONE THING TO TRY....There SHOULD be a Battery Temp Sensor wire or phone plug on the Inverter.  UNPLUG that.  Then turn off ALL SHORE and turn off BOTH Battery Disconnect Switches.  Leave them off for maybe 5 minutes.  Turn them back on....then plug back in....MAYBE...

The OTHER OPTION....and this will pin down the ATS....shut down all power (no genny or incoming AC).  DO you have POWER to the OUTLETS?  The Inverter should be, if you have decent batteries....supplying 120 VAC to the interior outlets.

THEN....try the Genny.  Did that fix it?  IF SO....then you DO have an ATS issue....regardless of the brand...

That's the basics....you may KNOW this, but many do NOT.  Look in your manual....there is usually prints and a diagram of the AC...
