The 15amp breaker on the RV panel that is for the Converter was tripped. I reset but still no power.
Checked all fuses in the RV panel...all good.
Checked the breaker near batteries...not tripped. I manually tripped and reset it anyways.
Still no power.
Did i just fry my converter when i plugged into 240 volts?

We had a thread start exactly like this a couple of years ago.
"An electrician" and "didn't know" don't go together. You pay them to be a professional and accomplish the job properly. As others have said, if he is an electrician he should be licensed and insured. His insurance should cover correcting the electrical wiring to make it right and to repair everything in your RV that was damaged due to his mistake. Check everything that is supposed to be powered by 120 VAC. This includes TVs, microwaves, anything that was left plugged in like computer equipment - everything! So many device now-a-days are really connected to power even if they are "turned off". Also verify the ATS works as required.
