Rv Automatic Transfer Switch Not Working

Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory for replacement.

Rv automatic transfer switch not working.

The automatic transfer switch is not working because the screw was cross threaded and now needs to be replaced my extended warrenty will not cover because its a cross thread. The automatic transfer switch is installed before the breaker panel. First thing to do is get a schematic by looking online or contacting generac directly. If the voltage level drops far enough the contactor points will chatter.

Turn off the shore power and disable the automatic generator start so no power goes into the xfer switch until someone can check out the wiring that s burnt. Without a schematic or at least a block diagram you re basically flying blind while troubleshooting. Sure your transfer switch will work most of the time while under a load but you are operating it outside of its design parameters. The possibility of decreasing the life of the transfer switch is absolute.

The rv s power cord will be connected to one of these inputs and the generator will be hard wired to the other input. Contactor based transfer switches are also affected by low voltage. Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch damage. The generator shouldn t have a transfer switch but it should have some sort of output circuit breaker.

An automatic transfer switch is a three way switch that will switch power between two inputs and connect it into a single output.
