Monarch SE 2004 - Shore Power

Monarch SE 2004-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 8 Electrical System | 281
The motorhome 120/240 Volt AC system can be operated from two different
power sources: shore power, and the on-board generator. Shore power is the most
efficient and should be used whenever possible. The on board generator can be
used when shore power is unavailable.
Two different sources supply the main AC circuit breaker panel with power:
the 50 Amp shore power cord or the on-board generator. The power source used is
selected automatically by an automatic electrical switching device known as a
transfer switch.
WARNING: The electrical system is engineered and tested for
complete safety. Circuit breakers and fuses protect electrical circuits
from overloading. If modifications or additions to the electrical
system are made, we strongly recommend consulting your dealer
for assistance to ensure continued integrity and safety of the
electrical system. Please note that any modifications may void
the warranty.
NOTE: (Optional) 130W inverter is only used for Front TV.
WARNING: Inverter uses a lot of battery power and should be
used sparingly.
The AC system power requirement for the motorhome is 120/240 Volt AC
single phase. This can be either 20 amp, 30 amp or 50 amp service. Ensure the
power distribution panel is configured to handle the load. If shore power service is
available connect the motorhome to the shore power source using the supplied
shore power cord. The shore power cord plugs into the shore power source and can
be adapted to the smaller receptacles. The motorhome shore power cord is located
on the roadside of the motorhome and is permanently attached.
NOTE: In instances when 30 Amp (50 Amp Option) shore
service is not available, care will have to be used when operating
the appliances and using the outlets so the shore power service
will not be overloaded.
