Rv Transfer Switch Clicking

How to tell if rv converter is bad.

Rv transfer switch clicking.

I have had a loud buzzing noise inside my landmark for some time now. It is a lyght transfer switch and not sure of the model. I had a similar issue start while running on generator power. This video is a bit long but i tried to cover a lot of material in it.

We have tracked it down to the transfer switch. It is an educational exercise to watch what is happening and to hear the sound to differentiate it from the inverter. 5th trip with our 4000 started the generator ran for 5 minutes then the automatic transfer swith started making clicking studdering sound and then no power. The transfer switch was clicking continually.

The inverter clicking is what you would hear when everything is quiet. After searching around and removing the panels in the cargo department i found the source being the main shore power transfer switch surge guard rv power protection transfer switch model 41260. 04 51 am apr 22 2012. The rv s power cord will be connected to one of these inputs and the generator will be hard wired to the other input.

Any ideas what would cause the swith to make this noise. An automatic transfer switch is a three way switch that will switch power between two inputs and connect it into a single output. Turned off gen restarted and did same thing. Well if you see your rv lights suddenly become dimmer and dimmer there is definitely something wrong here.

That is a very strange number in the electrical world. Disconnect the rv from its power supply before you attempt to inspect and repair any component of the vehicle electrical system. Hopefully this will be helpful to those trying to figure out why they don t have power. You can take the cover off the transfer switch and watch the buss mechanically switch when shore power is removed or supplied or the generator starts.

I checked power coming into the transfer switch from the genny and discovered 87 volts ac on one leg the other leg was fine.
