Rv Automatic Transfer Switch Not Working

Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch damage.

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. 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. Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory for replacement. The possibility of failure is high.

The automatic transfer switch is installed before the breaker panel. The generator shouldn t have a transfer switch but it should have some sort of output circuit breaker. The possibility of decreasing the life of the transfer switch is absolute. Without a schematic or at least a block diagram you re basically flying blind while troubleshooting.

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. 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. Sure your transfer switch will work most of the time while under a load but you are operating it outside of its design parameters. Contactor based transfer switches are also affected by low voltage.

I believe this should be a repair that you cover since it came from the factory this way.
