Panel Reads Inverter Over Load

[Newell Boss]

When I turn on the inverter, I hear vibration type noise, and panel reads inverter over load, and it shuts off. When I crank the generator all electric stuff works fine, and no excessive current draws. When I turn on the inverter, the breaker in the electric outlet in the lavatory blows. When it blows I loose electricity on all out lets on the right side of the motor home. Using generator it doesn't blow Batteries are charged up.

I suspect that the inverter is incorrectly wired or wired in such a way as to cause a ground fault when turned on. Is this something new (like a new inverter) or has it always been okay until now??

probably means a short to ground or reversed neutral and ground in the inverter's 120v generation function. Other functions appear to be still working ok ? So your inverter needs repair or replacement. What brand and model of inverter is it? I know there are a few troubleshooting manuals uploaded in the manuals section of this forum.

The inverter is one year old. It was installed by the dealer right before I bought this newell. Has worked fine up till now and it was manufactured by Xantrex.

Well I called the mnfg Xantrex & they had me turn off all the breakers and then turn on the inverter. It still went into over load, so they say the inverter is bad, and not under warranty. $500 to fix it. I can either take it to an authorized dealer or mail it in.
