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.

Rv automatic transfer switch not working.

An automatic transfer switch is a three way switch that will switch power between two inputs and connect it into a single output. 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. Without a schematic or at least a block diagram you re basically flying blind while troubleshooting.

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. The possibility of failure is high. The possibility of decreasing the life of the transfer switch is absolute. Sure your transfer switch will work most of the time while under a load but you are operating it outside of its design parameters.

First thing to do is get a schematic by looking online or contacting generac directly. 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. Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory for replacement. Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch damage.

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