An RV converter is a device that connects directly to an AC power source and converts it to a stable DC power source for batteries or DC devices. When your RV converter is damaged, the first thing you do is charge your batteries and then the lights on the RV converter won’t light up properly, and of course, the lights won’t work with a 12-volt DC light either.
(1) Noise from the converter, when your converter is damaged it will make a noise, if you think of it as the sound of the converter’s cooling fan then you are wrong, when the converter is damaged, the power supply’s cooling fan will not work.
(2) Power outage, when you are traveling in RV, the damage of the power converter will make all of your equipment is running at a lower than standardized state, if you can’t find in time and take the initiative to turn off the power of the car, your battery power will be consumed, which is almost fatal for RV travel.
(3) High voltage indication, the power converter is designed to convert AC to DC while maintaining the voltage at 12 volts, if the power converter is damaged it will not be able to perform this function, the voltage will be 120 volts and your meter will be messed up.
(4) Blown fuses, damage to the power converter will mean a circuit failure, the fuse will gradually rise in temperature and eventually melt, this is a protective measure you just need to replace the power converter and then plug in a new fuse can be used normally.
(5) battery odor damage, when the power converter is damaged, the most serious occurrences should be the battery, electrical appliances, abnormal work will lead to continuous overloading of the battery, the battery temperature continues to be high temperature, the battery in a variety of substances and plastics hair reaction, when you get close to the battery will emit an abnormal smell of sulphur!
(1) Resistor failure, some power converters still use resistors, but due to the special structure of the resistor in the RV converter so that he can not be replaced so you can only replace a power converter.
(2) Replacement of fuses, power converters can not be used may not be the problem of the power converter, when a short circuit occurs in the circuit fuse will be blown to disconnect the circuit, then you can just replace the fuse to solve the problem.
(3) circuit boards and diodes, circuit boards and diodes burned will directly lead to power converter damage, of course, this kind of damage you can not make effective measures, you can only hand over to the maintenance personnel to help you.
(4) power converter cooling fan, converter fan will be worn and damaged due to long-term use, the fan can not work properly, will lead to the accumulation of heat in the power converter
This will cause parts of the converter to malfunction damaging the power converter, which can be solved by simply replacing the cooling fan with a new one.
RV converters have a very important role in battery charging and RV travel, damage to the converter is simple and easy to detect, although there will not be large consequences in a short time but still need to be dealt with in time.
