50A Transfer Switch Recommendations

The TS is dead in my rig. Any recommendations on a replacement. The one in there is a PD 5100L (50 Amp). Thanks much.
  • Hi CA Traveler,

    Because the OEM relay had burned contacts within 12 months of my first use. Because the circuit also blew three sixty amp fuses. I replaced the fuse with a 50 amp automatic circuit breaker. It has been fine ever since.

    Why so much higher than 50A?
  • Piano and time2roll,

    I'd prefer that PD53-100 but it's a bit over $300. I'll need to think about this. Thanks all.
  • I would go PD53-100 with contactors. Randy has them.

    Unless you also want voltage protection then look at intellitec.

  • Hi mena661,

    I'd upgrade to one that is rated for at least 100 amps. Mine are 200 amps.
  • You might want to see if you can get a replacement coil...that's usually what fails.
