F341781 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 Trying to find out what our latest problem is. We have a 50 amp coach plugged into a 30 amp service with a 50 amp portable surge guard protector. We woke up to a clicking to find that the EMS panel was reading 0 & then 1 (back & forth) for amps & the power status lights for each load was lighting up partially & then going out, like it was powering up and then down. Our inverter is working and our generator is working so we're thinking that it is the transfer switch? We unplugged our power initially and then plugged it back in & the power seems to be fine as the surge protector is reading as normal & the green light is on. Could it be anything other than the transfer switch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F341781 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 I think we answered our own problem. After running the generator we again tried shore power & it worked. I have been searching & have seen other information about this particular transfer switch (Iota ITS 50R) & people having problems with it switching to generator use & being advised to tap the outside of the box & it has worked. We didn't have to tap the box though. We think that maybe the power went off while we were sleeping & that this may have contributed to the switch not working/malfunctioning? We've had power go out before & have not had any problems. We're going to be replacing the transfer switch anyway as we don't want any further problems. This is the 2nd transfer switch in the coach as when we purchased the coach (new) they did have to replace it as the original one wasn't working properly as it was not switching to the genny. Does anyone know whether this particular brand has more problems than others & is there a better brand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
