Flyinhy Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Good Friday to all, I took the day off to relax a little and make some needed repairs to the coach. I bought a hardwired surge protector from a fellow monacoer and decided to install it today. After finding a suitable place to mount it.....I was not turning back. I shut down all power, and started my install. I followed the directions and installed everything perfectly. Once I got the transfer switch wires back in, I reached over and plugged shore power back in. BOOM! Something happened and I'm not sure what. I saw a flash and a red light on the surge protector. I got my multimeter out and checked voltage everywhere. 120 on both sides of the surge protector. 120 on the transfer in. 0 on the outlet side of the transfer switch. Apparently the transfer switch has transfered 1 too many times. I have a new ES50 on the way and hopefully that's all it was. I can't afford too much because I have to buy gas and some ramen noodles for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Yeah, that shouldn't happen 🤔! I would double check the wiring before installing a new ATS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinhy Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Ben, I double and triple checked the wiring on everything. Amazon came to the rescue this time. Super fast shipping and the ATS was the culprit. I hooked everything up and we have power Houston ! Once I got the old one out , I took a good look at everything and it's showing its age. The switches themselves were crumbling apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
