Doug, I like what John is saying. By-the-way, I meant to say "will be powered by the switch used on the otherbank, not "panel". I think by reading both replies (John's and mine) you can see the plan. Also, I will add that my 1984 42 SE II, came with one 30 amp and one 50 amp (125VAC) shore power connections. I have changed the 50 to a 30 and moved one of my air conditioner circuits to the other bank. I couldn't run two air conditioners (at the same time) on 30 amps -- they will run simultaneously when I am on generator power since that is rated a 50 amps. Everything on my boat is 125VAC.

Does the voltmeter work on your AC panel? What is the voltage when running the generator? (you have to switch the breakers to the genset to see its output on the voltmeter) If it's 240V, there's your answer - the Jennair will only work on 240V. Actually, the more I think about it, the voltmeters may just give you 120V on each leg even when the gen is running, producing 240V. Here's another way to check - if you can get your eyeballs on the wires that go to the Jennair, see how many wires enter the unit. If there are 3 - should be black (hot), white (neutral) & green (ground) - the unit is 120V. If there are 4 wires - black & red (2 hots), white & green, it's 240V. You have two 30A shore power inlets, right? Lots of Uni's do - mine does - to support air conditioning loads. The XFER breaker lets you run the whole AC panel from either inlet. The Uniflites were delivered with wiring diagrams. I have mine. If you have yours, and the Jennair is original equipment, the wiring diagram would help too. Hope this helps, John Strong 1981 37 Coastal Cruiser On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 2:45 PM, Doug <[email protected]> wrote: I have a JennAir stove/grill on my 1984 46' Uniflite. It works perfectly with the generator running. But, when I switch over to shore power, the indicator light comes on, but the elements do not heat. The unit is not the problem, since it works well with the generator. It has to be a shore power issue, but I can't imagine what it can be. Why would it work with the generator, but not shore power? And why just the power indicator light comes on, but not the heating elements? > >Also, the AC panel has three switch positions for each bus - SP, Gen and XFER. >What is XFER? > >Thanks for any assistance. > >Doug > -- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"UnifliteWorld" group. >To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >email >to [email protected]. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/unifliteworld?hl=en. >For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
