INVERTER SHUTDOWN
During the recent Polar Vortex (Tks Al Gore !!) temps dropped to -3 deg F here in Knoxville,TN. This caused utility votages to drop to 103 & 106VAC on my shore power causing my #2 Inverter to shutdown due to the 24VDC / 250Amp circuit breaker(see pic) trip which dropped loads on the right side of the inside load panel (see pic). The loads were picked up by house batteries & then when battery voltage dropped to the setpoint the Genset fired up.
To prevent a reaccuring issue , Inverters` incoming voltage set point was changed from 108 to 105VDC and all has been well. Big thanks to Ben Cummings at Parlimant Coach for the assisting phone call to discover the tripped breaker. Hope this helps someone.

Steve,
Whenever you want shoot me an email and we can meet up somewhere for lunch or just coffee. We are on the east side of Knoxville off the 398 exit. You are about 40 minutes from us.
Ben and Rick have been very supportive of all Prevost owners over the years. You also have a new facility opening it doors just down the road from you in Vonore. Jeff Rowe is opening the shop and he also has a lot of experience.
