Re: (ET) Charger and house breaker

[RJ Kanary <rjkanary nauticom net>]

      How long is the run from the entrance panel to the outlet you are using? What gauge wire is used in this run? Under the right set of circumstances, a #14 AWG 15A circuit would be on the edge of capacity at the start of the charge cycle.This is where a Kill-A-Watt® power usage device can be a real trouble shooting plus. :)
The dark horse in this race....a tired circuit breaker that  trips under it's rating.I've seen this more than once.

Hi,

 

I finally got my E12 so that just about everything works (not yet sure about the mower deck).  My brand new T-105 batteries are only about half charged, so I want to charge it up fully.  The problem is, the charger trips the breaker in the house after about 5 minutes.  I have nothing else at all on this circuit either.  Any thoughts?

 

BTW, I greatly appreciate all the help everyone has given me.

 

Paul
