  1. Hi Guys thanks so much for all your advice. I've managed to sort out the problem! I replaced the RCBO'S with MCB's and an RCD and low and behold the problem solved ?. Many thanks for all your help, Happy New Year Ray
  2. This is the first time I've used the generator, as always had shore power before and no problems. Mains sockets work fine off the inverter but it is a different lead to the one I used for shore power at the marina, so you could be onto something there?. Will try a different one tomorrow before I charge up and also try the earth - neutral link as suggested by Richard. Really appreciate all your help guys - what a wonderful community we have!
  3. Thanks Tony, I think you could be right because I have two (one for each side of the boat) and even with no load on one side of the boat, I still can't engage that RCBO. Off with my head tourch to trace some wires!
  4. They are RCBO's B16 30mA if that helps?
  5. Thanks Richard that's really interesting and I didn't realise that. I will definitely give that a try! Hi Nick the breakers in the 240v DB/consumer unit trip out. I do have a basic grasp of Ohms law but if you can shed any light on this I would be grateful ?
  6. Thanks Matty for prompt reply! I was wondering that? The supply goes straight to the inverter/charger and then to 240v DB. Once the charger goes into float - should I then be able to get 240? Thanks again Ray Just my fridge/freezer, which when the compressor is running is pulling 3-4 amps according to my battery monitor. ? Think I've just answered my own question! Bigger Generator or 12v fridge required ?
  7. Hi I'm Ray I'm new to the forum so excuse me if I make any elementary mistakes! I've recently moved from a marina onto the canal. When I was in the marina I was plugged into shore power and no problems. On the canal when I plug my generator into the shoreline socket the batteries charge but 240v to the boat trips out and won't allow me to switch it back on? The generator is a Honda eu20i. Is this normal? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers Ray
