How can I tell if my AC converter is bad?
Next, you have to check the voltage where the converter is connected to the breaker box. If the voltage is around 11V – 13V, then the converter is totally fine. A bad converter would have a voltage below that. In the case the voltages indicate that the converter is malfunctioned, it’s time to check the internal component.
