Older Progressive Dynamics Distribution Center HELP

[Tony Muhlenkamp]

Hello,

I inherited a Progressive Dynamics Distribution Panel (30amp chord) charger/converter and need some help.  I called PD and they do not support discontinued products and the company has changed hands many times so no experienced folks are there any longer.
I am looking to find out what Model I have (it is not shown on the panel) and then how can I install/wire it?

It has a Shore/Main breaker panel on left with one 30A Main, twin 15/20 and a 15 GFI breaker, A Generator breaker panel on Right with a 20A with a black wire coming from the bottom? and a 15A breaker.  It then has the 12V fuse panel on the far right of the panel.

I have pics here

the shore power line goes to the 30amp breaker to bring power into the buss bar.  Same thing on the gen side. they hook to where the panel says "mains" respectively, and the neutrals go their own buss bars. you will need to wire a 30 amp circuit to the shore power cabinet with 30 female receptacle to plug into for shore power off of the generator side. unless there is a 110 volt relay lurking somewhere...

Hi, Your unit appears to be a PD-733    30 amp. automatic switch and 5 amp. charger.  The front plate is the same as mine.  Note, my supposedly automatic charger boils water out of the batteries.  The manual is quite brief and not very informative.  There is also an installation manual:

The unit must project into a space of not less than 16 cubic feet.  A total depth of not less than 7 inches.  The unit must be mounted with screened openings of this section with a minimum of 4 inches of free space at top, bottom, and both sides.  That's about all that I have.

Good Luck,

RWC

Thank you, does the installation manual offer any guidance to wiring?  Can you send me some pics of your Breaker Wiring/configuration?

missing the dpdt relay, ptcr, and time delay.  does the converter work?? is this to be period specific? or can you just go fresh?  you could do the 10 gauge to the shore power compartment with the female 30a recpt I suggested.  that would eliminate all the stuff you see between the breakers...or just run the gen power to the shore power compartment. do you have a gen set??
