Re: 1985 Southwind Transfer Switch by Ken Martin
Post New Message Thanks Joe,
I measured about 230 volts at the output of the generator. I don't have any documentation but I tore the RV apart this weekend and traced the wire from the generator. The wire routes from the generator and appears to terminate under my furnace which is about the same place that the AC shoreline power enters on the drivers side. I had the generator running and plugged a device into an outlet but got no power. The AC shoreline power works OK. I have checked the breakers and fuses, etc. I have been doing some internet research and they discuss a "transfer switch". I figure something has to convert the 230 volts down to 115 volts and also isolate the AC from the generator from the shoreline AC. I must either have a manual switch and have not located the switch or it is an automatic switch that is failing. I welcome any suggestions.
Thanks, Ken
