| Unfortunately, while trying to use a cabin heater with my microwave I popped the shore power AC breaker at the aft port breaker. The "charger" led light came back on but all the other AC panel LED's are out. Does anybody have insight on this issue? Thanks, |

The LEDs on the Blue Sea panel seem to be a little over-stressed. Mine were slowly failing one by one so I replaced them. Like all boat projects it was awkward and resulted in a few choice words and a stiff neck. Not surprisingly Blue Sea sells replacement LEDs at a significant mark-up, but I think they are just LEDs with no built-in bias resistor so you could just buy a plain LED of the right diameter at your local electronics store. ------------- "Kerkyra" 400e #042 |

There is a circuit breaker at the port locker, there is also a circut breaker at the panel itself. There should be a relay at the back of the panel which does not allow high loads to operate from the inverter. If both curcuit breaker are reset, I would unscrew the AC panel and start measuring the voltage across various switches, if some are operational and some (such as water heater) are not, it could be a relay problem.

| Thank you, all, for your suggestions. I’ll poke around and see what’s behind the AC panel, first. Then, move on to replace LED indicators - or should I say, Idiot lights :) |

| UPDATE: I ordered Blue Sea replacement LED’s for the AC Panel (120 V AC) Part 8034 Green and Part 8066 Red. They replace the 125 V original and DO have a resistor in the White wire. All now working. |
