Rv Automatic Transfer Switch Not Working
The automatic transfer switch is installed before the breaker panel.
Rv automatic transfer switch not working. The rv s power cord will be connected to one of these inputs and the generator will be hard wired to the other input. I believe this should be a repair that you cover since it came from the factory this way. Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory for replacement. 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.
Depending how long it takes to get repaired he may want to go out and purchase a battery charger to keep the house battery voltage up. Contactor based transfer switches are also affected by low voltage. An automatic transfer switch is a three way switch that will switch power between two inputs and connect it into a single output. The possibility of failure is high.
First thing to do is get a schematic by looking online or contacting generac directly. 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. Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch damage. 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.
