I have a bit of electrical concern.
I have been checking my rpl when connecting to any shorepower source since reading a Tugnuts post. I keep our R27-OB at home on a trailer on shorepower 24/7. This has been my procedure since buying the boat 7/2018 without any issues that I've noticed.
Recently I've been working with my Victron monitor configuration and spending more time in front of my elec panel.
It's that time of year to throw heat into the cabin. I have 2 elec-resistant fan heaters going that I've always used without incident, 1 on port outlet and 1 on stbd outlet, with shorepower connection from my garage.
Each heater has a light to indicate it's plugged in, and I have no issues plugging these units into my outlets. HOWEVER, when the thermostat turns on the heater/fan, I see a soft glow of red light at Shorepower panel and AC Main breaker panel reverse polarity indicators. The Shorepower and the AC Main lights remain on with a bright glow.
I tried my mini vacuum and also get a soft red glow when turned on, although my Keurig machine has no impact. All devices have a polarized 2-prong plug, except Keurig is a polarized 3-prong plug.
Do I have an electrical problem? Batteries? Wiring?
Thanks for your feedback.
