Hello All! Trying to get our rig ready to hit the roads soon and need to sort out the problem with the front AC.
Last year this is what was done:
Moved AC breakers so there is one on each leg, before, both units were on one side of the panel.
New PD52DCSD Transfer Switch
New PD9260C Converter Charger
New PD1210SR Inverter
4x US 2200 6-Volt Deep Cycle Batteries.
On order, shipping TODAY: 2x SoftStartRV units.
Problem:
Front AC attempts to start and causes the transfer switch to start clicking. I turned it off, started the main AC and it ran just fine. Waited a couple of minutes and started the front AC and it ran just fine for quite a while. It eventually tripped the breaker.
I check the 50+5 start/run capacitor this morning and it appears to be okay, although, the fan side was reading around 4.7uF. The HERM side measured just a little above 50uF. Could this still be failing?
Setting the thermostat to fan only (AC off) the fan has no problem running, so it seems the problem is only on the pump side.
Could this be a telltale sign of a failing unit, a failing cap, or perhaps a wiring issue?
