Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

After a week in Urbanna, I can safely say that the air conditioning units are working fine. After flushing both units when we came in, both units have run perfectly - well, except for one time when...

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

OK, new data (sorta):

We have moved temporarily to another marine in Urabanna, Virginia. Water temperature is not significantly different. However, upon arrival, the first thing I did wass...

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

Looking at your four options:

There is only one spot where I might be able to replace the tubing with pipe and that is only for about four feet. I may come back to that, but it doesn't look like...

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

I have not measured the flow rate on the after unit since I had the system professionally reinstalled. It had originally been installed by a previous owner, who was one of "those" guys - the type...

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

We have been running with just the A/C unit and house loads on, the battery charger and water heater off. Yesterday evening, my wife turned off the A/C to turn on the water heater for showers.

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

All of the readings were taken at the Blue Sea multimeter at the AC power panel. I have, in the past, taken readings at both A/C units and found there to be a 1 to 1.5 volt difference between the...

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

OK, I have just returned from the boat. I replaced the older of the two shore power cables with a brand new Marinco EEL cord - still 50 foot, still 30 amp. I took a reading on the old cable and...

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

Just to be clear, these two shorepower lines are completely separate from each other - the phase between them should not be an issue - but thanks for pointing it out.

Re: DECREASING A/C VOLTAGE WHEN A/C COMES ON

Thanks for your feedback. I thought about the starting amperage issue, but the system doesn't seem to trip on start up or when cycling. It seems that it will be running steady state and then drop...
