Danandfreda Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Just tried out the project 50 amp tester at the Menard county fairgrounds down the road from us. We staying here this weekend for a trap shooter event. Thanks again randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmup68 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 What’s the lights order/info? all lights are on but the top two middle ones. What does that mean?

That the top two middle ones have quit working or there is no power to them. 😎 Quote 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danandfreda Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 voltage. Proper outlet wiring with the following is tested: Ground and neutral present and contiguous 120-volt power between E1 and Neutral 120-volt power between E2 and neutral 240-volt power across E1 to E2 If there are errors in the outlet wiring like reversed power and neutral, missing grounds or improper voltage from E1 to E2 certain lights will not illuminate. All materials other than the Camco Plug are provided – you will need to bring a plug to complete the project. BRING THIS PLUG - IT IS NOT PROVIDED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Dixon was going to post the schematic on the ECR website. Let me check on that. If not I’ll see if I can find my copy and post here.

RandyA Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Neon lamps like we used in the project are not prone to burning out. One of two things if the top two lights are not lit- the wires inside the tester may have not been soldered well and have broken loose OR the two legs bringing power to the RV are both of the same phase differential meaning the 120 - 120 legs are on the same wire. The danger here is if you are pulling a lot of power like two AC's, converter water heater, etc. at the same time you will burn the neutral wire or contact. You are also most likely to to have a single 50 amp line rather tan two 50 amp lines. If both lights come on E1 and E2 have a phase differential that is 180 degrees. You will have 220 across E1 and E2. All is good.

So yes, two 110 legs single 50’amp line vs. 2 on 220.
