jarz09 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Today I started my MH and ran the engine for a while (10min.). Every thing was OK then I started my generator. It took a couple of starts to catch on (has not been started for a while). The generator went to high idle then dropped to the pre running rate 1600 then to the idle speed 1000rpm. I was waiting for the 110 power to show up on the coach panel-- no read out? Then I check the Silverleaf it showed 110 volts output, ran a diagnostic thru the Sliverleaf no defaults. The Silverleaf also starts and stops the generator. So then I turned on the AC no response. House panel still not showing a volts OOOO. I turned off the generator unit and tried a couple of time more not response. I checked the breakers-- all good. Look at the Electrical cabinet all fuses were lit up (all good) Most are 12volt though. Does anyone know were the problem could be, I would like to fix this problem myself or have any possible reasons the voltage is not getting transferred to the coach.

wolfe10 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 120 VAC goes from the generator to the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) and then to the 120 VAC breaker panel. IF, repeat IF you are safe working around 120/220 VAC, check for power in and out of the ATS. Particularly if the generator and shore power have been shut off under heavy load, pitting of the points in the ATS is not uncommon. Sometimes a light, sharp rap (like with the handle of a screwdriver) will free up the points in the ATS. That does not mean the problem is solved.

ljlaursen Report post Posted August 1, 2011 Check the circuit breakers mounted directly on the generator first. ljl 05 HR Endeavor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarz09 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks everyone. I feel sort of stupid ?, the last time I was cleaning the MH I also wiped down the generator, I mush have turned off the breaker switch without noticing or maybe my grandson who was helping me (2+) did it (not). But thanks for bringing me back to reality and telling me to look for the simplest answer. Rz' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
