For you guys that have lots of Electrical and inverter experience here is what happened and I am looking for ideas.

We are talking about a Trace 3624.

I was driving down the road running 2 roof airs off of the inverter just like I have for many many hours and I smell an obvious electrical type burning odor but there none of the gagues are funny and the a/c's just keep pumping out cold air so I don't think it is my bus that is burning up. 

The inverter and the a/c's work fine for about 15 more minutes until I get home and I turn off the inverter and park the bus.  I open the inverter and panel door and it is obvious that the smell was coming from the inverter.  It smells like wires or metal burning.  there is no sign of fire or heat. 

Today, 2 days later, I figure I would look into this and I start the bus and turn on the inverter and it goes on for about 5 seconds and goes dead and won't light the LED "on light" at all.

Is there a big honki'n fuse in there, or a breaker that may have burned up or is it way worse than that.  Can this thing be sent to the factory and how is there customer service?

Any ideas or similar experiences would certainly be appreciated.

Cooling fan failure?

Just guessing, I have a 4024, there's a lot of heat to deal with running two roof airs of an inverter.

I know of one who added a small squirrel cage fan to force feed the internal cooling fans as a way of duplicating the systems to stave off failure.

happy coaching!
