Question Electrical Issue - Inverter/converter?

[Gary Bougher]

Have a 38' 2003 Excursion. With either shore or gen power the combo standard & inverter 120v circuits (there are 2) will occasionally go off and after a few minutes time come back on. The inverter is on. House and engine batteries seem to be charging at proper voltage. Replaced the main circuit breaker & breaker to converter. 15/20 amp breakers (120v) on the inverter/converter do not trip. Does this sound like an inverter problem or maybe a transfer switch problem? Thanks, Gary

It could be the inverter is going in error mode from getting too hot. On my Magnum, there are 2 cooling fans that freeze up. I’m told life expectancy is about 10 years. They are not difficult to replace once you get the correct parts. Good luck

Thank you for the response. Ordered a new cooling fan but the overheat indicator light has not come on. What is the typical life span for the inverter/converter?

Got a picture and model number?
Life expectancy is dependent on the type of inverter you have.
