Additional Product Information
Hughes Autoformers are designed to increase voltage to your
RV and help eliminate low voltage damage to your appliances.
Unlike a boost transformer, the sense circuit in the Autoformer will
adjust the output based on the load demand. For this reason, you
can run additional appliances on a 30-amp input. With the increase
in voltage to the RV (through the Autoformer), the amperage demand
will be lower and the overall performance will be greater. Moreover,
your appliances will operate smoothly and efficiently without
premature wear and damage to motors and compressors. With an
operation range of 95 to 115 volts input, the Autoformer will correct
your RV voltage to safe and efficient levels.
Appliance failure can be costly, as well as frustrating and
inconvenient. Many AC motors burn out due to higher than rated
current draw caused by low voltage.
The wiring in many RVs is smaller than wire used in homes.
Therefore motors need to be lighter and smaller, and we need
higher voltage and lower amperage. While the voltage at the park
connection may be enough, the voltage in the RV may be lower,
sometimes by several volts. The further you move away from the
input, the smaller the wire and the greater the load, leading to
dropped voltage. It is very common for some parks to have reduced
power as much as 10 volts.
If breakers are tripping with a small load, check the breaker and the
load. If you are pulling too much power for the system, simply use
fewer items at a time. Remember: the refrigerator, electric hot water
heater element, and the battery charger may constantly be on and
drawing power. If a breaker trips at the park pole, chances are you
are using too much power for that particular breaker. Park breakers
are often heavily over-used and/or abused.
