Parasitic electrical flow

mercredi 13 août 2014

I was talking to someone at a campground this week and complaining about my batteries running down to 50% of capacity in 3 days. He happened to have a Fluke clamp-on DC ammeter. We opened the battery compartment and put the ammeter on the positive lead and measured a few conditions. It turned out that the refrigerator draws 1 ampere all the time when running on LPG. I think that there is a LPG solenoid that has to be activated.



The LED reading lights in the bedroom draw 0.1 ampere each.



I just bought a clamp-on for my own use. I want to run some more tests when it arrives and I will post the results.
