[C320-list] AC Outlet Failure, 1998 320 # 530

[John Phillippe]

Black feed wires to outlet "push on" breaker come into the panel with the large bundled set of wires that feed the 30 amp AC on/off bbreaker.  obviously one of them is the line (hot) anf one the feed to the breakers.  With the 30 amp AC on and with charger and water heater feeds hot, I get no power to either side of the push on switch.  It is not feed bt the 30 amp breaker directly which is the case with the others.
Thanks

>> Upon returning to boat I find no power to AC outlets even though charger and water heater are powered up.  Feed to AC outlet breaker is not fed directly from 30 amp AC Breaker as shown in my owners manual.  I have tested for power to the outlet “push in” switch and have found no power to it.  I have attempted to cycle the ground fault receptacles with no results.  I have checked for power in to each of the two GFR outlets and have none.  Dave Casey’s book indicates the possibility of a polarization or isolation transformer to feed the AC.  All diagrams show no transformer. Diagrams also show a direct feed from the main AC breaker which is not the case on my boat.  I am reasonably capable with the topic and have test tools.  Help / experience with this issue?
