Reversed polarity

[gordon.meldrum1960@gmail.]

Took my caravan to my home plugged in the cable no problem with electrics , then all of a sudden it will change from normal to reverse polarity then switch back to normal then back again

Get a professional electrician to check your home electrics.

On a slightly different tack, it is not wise to put your email address on an online forum...( too many folks/spambots) willing to send you all sorts of unsolicited stuff.

I recommend you change your nic, but if you find you can't then ask Parksy or Damian ( forum moderators) to alter it for you.
Regards ( and of course, Happy caravanning)

In relation to the problem the OP has, If I have understood it correctly the power supply apparently changes polarity al by its self with no intervention by the user. I presume the OP is looking at the caravans Polarity indicator, as there is usualy nothing in the house that would give such an indication.

I doubt the polarity in the house changes, its more likely a fault in the caravan.

The fact the OP has found it necessary to ask this question suggests they do not have electrical qualifications so, either way its a job for a professional.

Try another mains cable in case there is a short in the one you are using?

Hi welcome to the forum
You have not said how long you have had the caravan and if it has worked OK before, I think with more information more help could be given.,also change your user name for your own protection!! due to scammers and junk mail

i had a problem with my electrics on my caravan and found the caravan electric hook up cable that came with van was not right.
So now i have got this caravan hook up cable 25m 16A 2.5mm heavy duty
So far everything has been fine .

How do you know it is changing polarity ? It sounds like 12 v it is switching on and off , I suspect that you are drawing too much current in the van , the lights are off 12v not 240 v the polarity swings are 12v dropping , have you left a water pump on or something ,
