Why is there no power to some 120 VAC outlets?
And, if the circuits powered by the inverter are GFI protected (i.e. there are one or more GFI outlets) the GFI can be tripped as well. 2. The other thing the inverter/charger does when it sees 120 VAC is activate the battery charger function– starting in bulk mode (14.0- 14.5 VDC), then tapering off to float mode (13.2-13.5 VDC).
What to do if there is no power to an outlet?

What happens when I run a 120 VAC Charger?
When the inverter/charger sees 120 VAC (shore power OR generator), it does TWO things: 1. “Pass through” feature– it passes that 120 VAC along to all circuits wired from the “out” side of the inverter (often, but not always through a sub-panel). There are two breakers ON THE INVERTER itself that can be tripped.
