Recommended Converter for a WFCO WF-8955PEC

Question

Question:

Hello, We have a 2014 Lance 1995 TT. Our WFCO power converter has failed and I need to replace it. I have a WFCO Power Converter with distribution panel model: WF-8955PEC, 55A. We have new batteries and are not planning to change to lithium batteries. I have read on several RV user sights that there are better converters than the WFCO model. What compatible converter would you recommend? Best regards

Thanks for the pictures! To replace the converter section of your WF-8955PEC 55A power center, I recommend the Progressive Dynamics Replacement Converter for WFCO RV Power Centers item # PD4655V. This unit will fit in the same dimensions that your WF-8955PEC fit in and only replaces the converter section

If you go to a higher amp rated converter the issue is that the wiring would also need to be upgraded as it would not be rated for the additional amperage. So since what you have is 45 amp rated the #PD4645V would be the correct replacement for your…

The Progressive Dynamics Replacement Section #PD4655V does have a jumper to change the charging profile to lithium compatible. You'll simply need to move the black jumper over from the WIZ side to the LI side.
