Rv Automatic Transfer Switch Not Working

Contactor based transfer switches are also affected by low voltage.

Rv automatic transfer switch not working.

The automatic transfer switch is installed before the breaker panel. 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. Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory for replacement. 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 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. 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.

First thing to do is get a schematic by looking online or contacting generac directly. Without a schematic or at least a block diagram you re basically flying blind while troubleshooting. I believe this should be a repair that you cover since it came from the factory this way. If the voltage level drops far enough the contactor points will chatter.

The possibility of failure is high.
