First lets discuss the most common fan type.
Inverter cooling fan running continuously.
We only turn the inverter on when we are traveling.
In such a case the possible cause could be either overload on the inverter or a stuck cooling fan.
This video guides you through diagnosing a cooling fan that is always running.
They are continuous load controlled and thermal.
Inquiring minds want to know.
This causes about a 12 amp 160 watt constant load.
From this point on live components will be bare and unprotected in the very tight environment in which you are working.
This is why it can only be heard running when the rv is plugged in to shore power or an operating generator.
There are three different fan types that are offered on inverters.
Is the inverter doing something all the time to cause it to need cooling.
I thought i d ask here before calling sunline.
Continuous fans run all of the time regardless of temperature and load.
Apparently that amount of load on the 110 to 12 converter is enough to make the cooling fan in it to run continuously.
Disconnect all the extra load in case of overload.
A lot of times the alarm of the inverter may keep beeping continuously.
I have been wondering why the cooling fan on our inverter is running from time to time.
This video is on a pontiac solstice but the principals are the same for most c.
I asked the dealer but did not get a straight answer.
It does not seem like the constant 40 watts of heat generation on each of the brake actuators has done any permanent harm to anything just cost me a few bucks worth of.
The purpose of this article is to address the different fan types.
It is necessary to have the 120 volt power on because the fan in the converter is a 120 volt item.
