Ok, I unplug the converter trip all the breakers. I have 120 at the
outlets, plug converter back in and checked the 7 fuses for house lights,
water pump, furnaces etc. No power across any fuse! Now I justification
(if I really needed any) to get a new converter.
Any suggestions on what brand or power rating?
