Noisy freedom 20 inverter ???

Have a noise coming from my inverter area when on shore power.
Sounds kinda like an air hammer going off for a short duration.

Started about a year ago. It randomly sounds off for less than a second and may do so anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour apart.
Does it on both 30amp and 50amp service.

I haven't had any problems with the electrical so I'm wondering what this could be.

It is such a short duration and random noise, it is very hard to figure out what is going on.

OK, what else could it be???

Any comments appreciated… :h

  • Sounds like the transfer switch in the inverter. Contact Xantrex. They are very friendly and helpful.

  • Are you referring to the auto-transfer switch for the shore/gen power?

    if so it is on the other side of the coach, so I kinda ruled that out.
  • The only moving part I'm even remotely familiar with is the transfer switch.
