Inverter “Sub-panel” Breaker Box
The circuits that the inverter supplies power to are independently protected in a smaller “sub” panel
located adjacent to the main breaker box. This panel is powered by the inverter. When the unit is plugged
into shore power or the generator is running, the current passes through the inverter to supply power to
these circuits.
When there is no external AC power source, the inverter powers these circuits with the house batteries.
Note that every appliance and accessories in your unit is not on the Inverter “Sub” Breaker box. Only
those appliances in the Inverter “Sub” Box will be powered by the inverter.
Generator
The generator in your unit is located between the front frame rails, and is mounted on a hydraulic cradle
that will extend or retract the generator at the touch of a button. It is wired into the “Automatic Transfer
Switch” and will power all the 110 volt AC circuits in your King Aire. The generator can be started from
the dash switch, or remotely started at the generator itself.
Located on the generator remote start panel (at the generator) are two main breakers for the two output
legs of the generator wiring. Please note that on startup, there is a momentary delay in the “Automatic
Transfer Switch” engaging to pass the electricity on from the Genset.
The generator in your new King Aire runs on the same diesel fuel as your main engine. The diesel fuel is
drawn through a separate supply tube that is positioned in the tank in a manner that will not allow the
generator to draw fuel and run if the tank level dips below the ¼ level.
Please refer to the generator manufacturers operating guide for specific information on maintaining your
new Genset. Regular oil changes and other maintenance performed at the prescribed intervals will greatly
extend the life of your generator.
Inverter
Your King Aire is equipped with a 2800 Watt “Pure Sine Wave” inverter. An inverter changes DC power
from the house batteries into AC current to operate most of your appliances.
When 110 VAC is present from the generator or shore power, internal switching in the inverter passes the
electricity through to the appliances it controls, and turns on a charge circuit to recharge the batteries. The
inverter is controlled by the remote panel located in the front overhead cabinet.
The ME inverter / charger has two modes of operation: “Inverter” mode (providing power to the
appliances from the house batteries), and “AC” mode (running from shore power or if your Genset is
running).
When your inverter is in the “AC” mode, it passes power directly to your appliances, as well as recharges
the batteries using a three stage battery charger (“Bulk”, “Absorption”, and “Float”). This approach to
battery charging provides rapid and complete charging cycles without placing undue stress on the
batteries. Inverter operation is completely automatic.
