Shore Power or Inverter the Problem?
Last week I brought a small vacuum onto the boat to suck up some debris and much to my dismay, the vacuum ran incredibly slow. So slow that it had virtually no suction. It works great at home but on the boat AC it was limp. The voltage indicator on the panel showed shore power at 120 V so is there a power frequency problem since an electric motor I believes needs 60 cycles to run properly? If the A/C on the boat is from the inverter, and it is producing less than 60 cycles, then I can't use anything with an electric motor on board. If A/C, when hook to shore power, is simply a passthrough on the boat then the problem is with the marina. So you Mariah geeks out there, where's the juice?:confused::confused:
