Mexico and other electric pros,
Slightly off-topic question.
When I purchased the RV, I specified to the dealer that I wanted the (separately purchased) Progressive EMS-HW50C hard-wire system installed as first in-line for all coach input, after the power cord but before the automatic transfer switch.
I just yesterday was examining photos I took of all components and noticed that they have it wired after the tfer switch, so that coach input goes through tfer switch, and then the output (either shore power or onboard Onan 5.5) becomes the EMS input. (I should have deduced that by seeing gen output readings on the EMS control panel for 3 years...??)
My question is, should I have it rewired to first in line, or leave it as is?
