I have an interesting problem.. I have an Engine/Generator that provides 28VDC... It powers all systems on a vehicle adequately. It then branches off into two step up power inverters, and one step down transformer (assuming I'm calling them the correct names). Two convert to 110VAC and the last one converts to12VDC.
Networking Equipment is powered by the 110VAC inverters. Split into two equipment racks. Total items on the racks are not equal. Rack 1 has about three times the load of rack 2.
The problem that I have is: When the equipment connected to the first racks 110VAC inverter is OFF, and everything on the second racks 110VAC is turned ON, everything from the second set works as expected. When equipment on the first inverter is powered on, one at a time, there in an incremental drop in power on everything connected to the second inverter. Eventually transmitting items become unusable. Equipment on the first rack seem to never lose any power.
Inverters have already been swapped.
Any hints as to what could cause this?
This setup is mirrored in three different locations, but only one location shows these symptoms.
Some of the things I am contemplating are; a bad splice at a junction somewhere, or something to do with the power distribution across a parallel circuit.
Any hints on where to start looking would be greatly appreciated.
