Wiring in DC Side of Progressive Dynamics PD4135k Power Center

Question:

Hi, I looked at the question How To Wire In The DC Side Of The Progressive Dynamics PD4135K Power Center and have the same question. the reply was to hook up wire 001 to positive battery and white to negative. On the old unit, the white went into a bundle of white, and there was no 001 wire. The wire from the battery, in an orange casing, is going to come into the PD4135K and black is going to be hooked to the 30 amp breaker. Does the 001 wire get connected to the 30 amp breaker too? Thanks!

Hey Paul, so the wire colors that were mentioned in the answer page you found for the part # PD4135K are in reference to the colors of the power center.

On the front of the unit you'll have a green, white, and black wire. The green wire will connect to your ground bus bar, the white will connect to the negative bus bar, and the black will connect to a circuit breaker to power the DC side/converter.

On the back of the unit you'll have a red wire that's labeled "001" that will connect to the positive terminal on the trailer battery and a white wire that will be connected to the negative terminal of the trailer battery. The remaining red wire labeled "002" is rated for 30 amps and the rest of the black wires are rated for 20 amps. These will be your connection point for any DC appliances you need to power through the power center.

So in your situation you will need to take that info and run the wire colors of the power center to the correct circuits on your RV. We don't have a way to determine what they all are on your RV though so you would need to trace those wires or otherwise ID them first.
