Rv Automatic Transfer Switch Not Working

The generator shouldn t have a transfer switch but it should have some sort of output circuit breaker.

Rv automatic transfer switch not working.

First thing to do is get a schematic by looking online or contacting generac directly. The rv s power cord will be connected to one of these inputs and the generator will be hard wired to the other input. 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. Without a schematic or at least a block diagram you re basically flying blind while troubleshooting.

Contactor based transfer switches are also affected by low voltage. 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 automatic transfer switch is installed before the breaker panel. The possibility of failure is high.

An automatic transfer switch is a three way switch that will switch power between two inputs and connect it into a single output. Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory for replacement. Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch damage. The possibility of decreasing the life of the transfer switch is absolute.

If the voltage level drops far enough the contactor points will chatter.
