rv power center

This RV power control center combines an AC/DC panel with a multifunction converter charger. Creating easy access to your electrical connections, this all-in-one breaker box distributes AC and DC loads to your RV and charges your batteries while connected to shore power. It's compatible with lithium and lead acid batteries.


AC/DC Electrical Distribution

internal view

The panel supplies AC and DC distribution to your RV's electrical system. The AC section includes space for up to 6 breakers rated for 240V at 50 amps. This lets you have up to 12 branch circuits when you use tandem breakers. The DC section has 18 branch fuse holders capable of using (4) 30 amp and (14) 20 amp fuses. Also, this section has lever lock connectors to make wiring faster and more secure. Simply open the lever, insert the wire, and close. You will need to purchase AC breakers and DC fuses separately to complete the installation.


inside cover

Once all of your connections are made, the breakers and fuses are easily accessible by opening the door on the front of the box. The door also includes a blank label to list all of the connections.


Multifunctional Converter Charger

switch

The integrated converter charger changes AC shore power into DC power to charge your battery bank. It includes an output mode switch that lets you choose either lithium or lead acid batteries. No matter what type of battery is installed in your RV, you'll always have the most efficient charging profile. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.


Charging Profile Designed for Lithium Batteries

In lithium mode, the unit uses a higher output voltage, which provides a fast, complete charge. It also extends battery life since it utilizes the appropriate charging profile. Additionally, this mode is compatible with your battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS), which helps manage the charge cycle by monitoring the battery state and balancing cell voltage.


Charge Wizard for Lead Acid Batteries

In lead acid mode, the Charge Wizard automatically switches voltages while your lead acid battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This function is compatible with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.


Charging Modes

  1. Boost: This mode charges at the full rated load for a quicker recharge time. This is where most of the charging happens. It charges the battery up to 90% of the full capacity.
  2. Normal: This mode provides controlled voltage to ensure a full charge. Once the battery begins to reach capacity, the normal state will kick in and reduce the voltage to safely complete the charge.
  3. Storage: Once the battery reaches full charge and remains unused for 30 hours, this mode maintains a lower voltage to compensate for self-discharge. This reduces battery stress and minimizes gassing and water loss.
  4. Equalization: This mode activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended storage cycles. These two issues can damage a battery by causing the accumulation of acid at the bottom of the battery and hardened sulfate crystals on the battery plates. This mode is especially helpful when your battery is going unused during storage.

Safety Features

cooling fans

The system includes a number of safety features. It has reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. Additionally, the unit includes protection for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent, which can damage your equipment, as well as the converter. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature of the converter, so when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly.

I purchased this unit as a backup incase my original one had problems after I changed my AGM batteries for my new Lithiums. So far the original unit is doing well, but I am glad to have this one in these times of shortages. The part that really concerns me was that it was the only thing in the box that traveled with UPS for four days. No packaging material was securing the plastic unit inside, nothing to keep it from bouncing around inside. Thankfully it arrived without damage, I am surprised.



by:

Ours didn’t even come with the door cover. Just an open unit full of wires. We even paid an extra $xx for two day delivery and needed this ASAP!
Now what?

Great product, great service.

Easy to install. Works as advertised. We built our own 28ft toy hauler and traveled in it for about 20 days over 3 separate trips in 2022. So far so good!

Excellent charger. Easy to install and works great.

Very good system no problems worked out very well



by:

First one ordered was destroyed by UPS. Sent the folks an email with pictures and returned the broke one. I'm sure after they went through sending a claim to UPS they eventually got another out to me.



by:

This is a fantastic piece. I had ordered another one from ebay that was less money but the saying "you get what you pay for" definetly applies here. The quality of the connections inside this are far superior. Really couldn't be happier.

  • Does the Progressive Dynamics 4500 RV Power Control Center Come with Breakers?
    The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8 does NOT come with the breakers included, but you can source those from any retail outlet that offers electrical supplies- Home Depot should have them.

  • Can The PD9260C Replace A Non-Working WFCO WF-9990 Power Center Converter
    The WFCO WF-9990 has a 90 amp converter in it so the only option we currently offer to match that rating is the Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8, which would replace the entire power center. Batteries can only accept so many amps at a time so a 90 amp converter is a bit overkill for your setup and would be more useful with a larger battery bank.

  • Will Swapping A Trailer From 30 Amp To 50 Amp Service Affect The Value Of The Trailer
    Typically two AC units running at the same time is going to have such a large power draw that you'll need to have 50 amp service so the trailer should not have had two units with only 30 amp service equipment. To complete the swap over you'll need a 50 amp power cord, 50 amp receptacle, and a power center rated for 50 amp service.

  • Can the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center PD4590K18LS8 Be Installed Horizontally
    The Progessive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter part # PD4590K18LS8 can be installed vertically with the converter section down or horizontally with the converter section to the right.

  • Can the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center Be Wired For Solar
    No, you cannot wire the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4590K18LS8 (PD4590) to a solar system. Solar can only be wired directly to a charge controller and then directly to a battery. It can't be wired any other way.
