How do I bypass a 30amp transfer switch
How do I bypass my 30amp transfer switch and which wires do I need to put to the shore cord
Forum Discussion
I hate it when I'm typing and POOF. it's gone.
Though on it's face it sounds like bypassing a 30 amp Transfer switch is a matter of 3 wires. .it may not be so.
30 amp RV's often come with 5000-5500 watt Generators.
So how come a generator that can kick out nearly 50 amps?
Well the Transfer switch has two sides. one is "House" and handles everything except ONE Air Conditioner (either THE air conditioner or one of two)
The switch puts the A/C on the Generator's 20 amp circuit. the rest of the house on the 30. So there are up to 9 wires you need to deal with.
I would suggest replacing the switch rather than a bypass unless it is an emergency situtation in which case make and model please for more details.
