Question How many amps does your DP PULL

[Joe Hogan]

I’ve noticed that even with minimal utilities running, one ac unit and cooktop, we are pulling 50+ amps??
With the dryer running the pull exceeds 60 at times. Have yet to pop a breaker. ???

I am no electrical expert but that would be exceedingly high in my book for just that few but you also have oasis and refrigerator and other stuff drawing power but that should be minimal. Where and how are you reading it?

 

[Joe Hogan]

Autoformer app.
Noted that front ac is pulling way too much as best as I can tell. That along with unknown issues with Autoformer life is getting challenging.

 

[Joe Hogan]

Without front ac draws look more normal

 

[Joe Hogan]

Maybe a bad motor in front ac…??

 

[sheridany]

I would ask newmar for an explanation when you get to the rally. That much draw off one a/c seems off.

 

[sheridany]

You would hear it. I had a bad motor on the front and it was loud like a grinder. Definitely one of the things they should look at.

 

[Joe Hogan]

No excess noise but looks like it pulls 25-30 amps continuously. Way too much.
The Autoformer is probably trying to sort out the difference in load between line 1and 2 which is substantial at times. Front ac on line 1.

My A/C's pull between 14-16 amps (each) once running...how does your front A/C match up against the others ? That would indicate a problem IMHO. Blessings

I suggest shutting down everything, getting a reading! Then one utility at a time get a reading so you can find the source of draw!

If power is being used when you think nothing is on be sure that the converter is off! That is not a small load when charging a large battery bank!

There is a strong possibility the circuits are not balanced very well because 220 is not always available. But then I don't know the wiring scheme.
