Rv Transfer Switch Clicking

It is an educational exercise to watch what is happening and to hear the sound to differentiate it from the inverter.

Rv transfer switch clicking.

This video is a bit long but i tried to cover a lot of material in it. We were sitting outside tonight and could hear a click every few minutes. 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 have had a loud buzzing noise inside my landmark for some time now.

That is a very strange number in the electrical world. Turned off gen restarted and did same thing. Hopefully this will be helpful to those trying to figure out why they don t have power. The rv s power cord will be connected to one of these inputs and the generator will be hard wired to the other input.

We have tracked it down to the transfer switch. I had a similar issue start while running on generator power. Well if you see your rv lights suddenly become dimmer and dimmer there is definitely something wrong here. It is a lyght transfer switch and not sure of the model.

The automatic transfer switch is installed before the breaker panel. How to tell if rv converter is bad. Disconnect the rv from its power supply before you attempt to inspect and repair any component of the vehicle electrical system. 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. The transfer switch was clicking continually. Turned off all ac s restarted gen turned on 1 ac then the second and transfer switch made no noise and power stayed. I checked power coming into the transfer switch from the genny and discovered 87 volts ac on one leg the other leg was fine.

Any ideas what would cause the swith to make this noise.
