    Electrical Issue

    We have solar power to run off grid. It seems we lost power to outlets. Batteries are full charge,(13.25V). Checked camper fuses and breakers are all good. No power out the inverter. Hook up generator/inverter would only charge batteries and same problem. No power to A/C, Microwave, refrigerator or the GFI outlet.
    The inverter is a Mulitplus 3000VA and the green light is on for load. But the Lynx distributor 1000DC light isn't on.
    I'm at a total lose because it work fine the day before.
    Getting ready to hit the road next weekend.
    Any help would be grateful.

    First off, it looks like you're new here, welcome to the forum. So sorry to hear about your issue, it can be frustrating when things don't work the way you're expecting. There are many knowledgeable folks on this forum, but it would help if you were a bit more specific about your setup. Which coach do you have? It sounds like your solar setup is Victron, who installed it? Do you have a multimeter to check where the problem begins?

    I want to assume that your transfer switch feeds the AC to your Multiplus and your Multiplus then feeds your AC bus. I’d assume (hope, frankly) that there’s an inline fuse somewhere very close to the multiplus on the AC out leg. This fuse would be intended to save your Multiplus from a short between the inverter and the breaker box, so if you’re not intimately familiar with the install and thus didn’t already check there, that’s were I’d look. It’s worth it to track that wire all the way to your breaker box looking for signs of chaffing or burn marks even if you find a blown fuse, as it blew for a reason (could have simply been too much amp draw, but best to inspect while you’re in there). If you don’t find a blown fuse, you may have a cut wire, bad breaker, or roasted Multiplus.

    What did you do from one day to the next (moves, shore hookup, genny run, drilling or tinkering) and how long have you had this system in?
