Identify the PD50K3Q2GP from the label, rear connector blocks and breaker area before replacing an RV electrical panel. This Progressive Dynamics unit distributes 120V AC and fused 12V DC, but the battery charger is housed separately. The model suffix is important when comparing similar PD5000 panels.
Locate the two distribution systems in PD50K3Q2GP
These two parts of the panel distribute different types of power. The AC main and breakers are not a DC converter, and DC blade fuses do not protect the shore AC line.

Check the model suffix and circuits
| Part or function | Rating or suffix | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| AC main | 30A / 120V AC | One main supply and up to nine AC branch circuits |
| DC fuse distribution | 12V DC | Up to twelve fused branches; fuse size must protect each circuit |
| DC connector option | 3Q | 30A-rated quick-connect style for this exact part |
| DC inputs / ground | 2G | Two DC positive inputs and rear ground block |
| Rear AC outlet | P suffix | 120V outlet option on this GP model |
| External battery charger | Not included | A separately selected converter/charger supplies 12V DC |
The PD50K3Q2GP model code identifies a black panel (K), 30A quick-connect DC terminals (3Q), two DC inputs (2), ground block (G) and rear AC outlet (P). The unit's approximately 13.4 × 7.1 × 4.0-inch installation dimensions describe the PD5000 panel family; confirm the enclosure cut-out on the manufacturer's drawing.
AC branch breakers serve the 120V circuits. ATC/ATO-type blade fuses in the DC section protect separate 12V wiring. Do not use a 12V automotive circuit breaker as an AC branch breaker. The manufacturer instructs installers to choose the AC breaker family and rating from the label behind the panel cover.
Identify breaker and DC-fuse positions
The PD5000 factory connection photo distinguishes the AC breaker section, rear 30A DC quick-connects, pair of DC positive lugs, ground block and optional back-mounted AC outlet. For breaker selection, the label inside the installed panel is authoritative; a Siemens QP breaker listing is not automatic proof of fit in every revision.
