Identify ProPower, APIM says 2.4 kw, but 240V available.

Awesome, Interesting, the GFM3 is the 7.2kW split phase inverter. Your outlet bed box also does NOT have the thermal circuit breakers like the US 7.2kW ProPro Power in the bed. Go into the As Built configuration for both the DCACA and GFM3 and do a save-all. Send the two files to me @ [email protected]


Just for reference if anyone is curious here is the inside of the 7.2kW outlet bed box:

Notice how the 240V twist lock outlet is simply the combination of the split phase 120Vs below.

Here is my motorcraft as-built. Will get the forscan ones tomorrow.

Interesting. Although I'm not sure it's safe to assume the European schematic is the same?
As I understand, the 230v in Europe is more akin to the 120v here (a single 230v hot and a neutral). I have no idea if they're doing the 230v with a single 230 and a neutral, or two 115's.

if it's a 4 prong- probably safe to assume it's 2 115's likely at 50hz, and a neutral and ground.
No skin in this game just thinking out loud and very curious.

I'll check this out, but are you sure this is a current AB for the truck or was this from the factory before it was modified per the "vehicle modification" placard you showed earlier? I guess we'll see when you pull the two module ABs. I can compare them once you post them. When you save them in FORScan, keep the file name as it suggest but tack on the date at the end like this "...- 5-13-2026"

It’s a 2 pole + ground.

Yea, I'm guessing he didn't see the bed box pic you posted. In the US we call those plugs "Schuko plug". In PTS there is no diagram for this setup, I'm wondering if the truck was simply outfitted with the US ProPower 7.2kW bed box or that box was simply left out then the Schuko plug variant was simply installed. I bet there is a parameter in the config of the inveter that specifies the frequency. We will know soon if the configs are the same.

"Notice how the 240V twist lock outlet is simply the combination of the split phase 120Vs below."

yes, as testing has shown that these 4) 120v outlet set, two sets on separate sides of the 240v power, originate from the exact same 240v Inverter at the twist lock outlet, with the Exact Same 30amp 'breakers'/AutoFuses... meaning that while they look like the typical household 15/20amp outlets, they actually have a much higher maximum of 30amps, each...

now, if you are using the 240v 30amp twist lock outlet, at the same time, you are 'sharing' all the 240v power from the inverter, therefore limiting the output potential of each of the 120v outlets....

in any case, you have 7.2kw of maximum power from this power box, whether using the 240v outlet, or the 120v outlets, or the combination of all three...

the outlets in the cab and frunk, though, with this optional 9.6kwProPower setup, are powered thru the original front 120v inverter, and totally separate from these...
if you have, though, only the original 2.4kwProPower setup, the outlet set in the bed also originates from the same front 120v inverter.

What is this? Under the bed.

 

[hturnerfamily]

rear 240v INVERTER, to power your outlets

 

[RLXXI]

What is this? Under the bed.

On my truck, that is the 7.2kW inverter for the bed outlets, the other inverter, 2.4kW is up front under the frunk tub.

Kinda makes sense. They are just taking a leg from each side. In the past I’ve made that same kind of thing. A 240 outlet “extension” cord by taking a hot from 2 different outlets that were on opposing legs. Sometimes one has to get crafty.

 

[hb.sagen]

Do I have the front inverter as well?

 

[TaxmanHog]

Interesting that you have the rear 7.2 kw inverter (assuming that it's the same)

Could the 10 amp limitation be due to the maximum capacity rating of the outlets?

16 amp is common on the euro style plugs. And two plugs could then pull 7000+ watts.
