Question about Transfer Switches
I am wiring up a cam switch in my generator compartment so I can plug one leg into the pedestal and run my 2d AC while I am using hook-ups. But now I'm thinking about the transfer switch in the coach...
Forum Discussion
I have a 50 amp RV that is two 120 volt "legs" with a common neutral. The transfer switch "Transfers" 3 lines, HOT, HOT and Neutral
Now I also have a "Cheater box" this is a device with two 120 volt plugs (TT-30s) and a 50 amp outlet.. I can plug it into two different outlets .. I do not recommend these as there are only a very few places where I can use it. It is also a GFCI tester.. if you use it and one or both of the outlets are GFCI, it WILL Trip the GFCI if it is working.
Now I've studied the wiring for 30 amp Transfer Switches (Intellatech models)
30 amp RV's have only one 120 volt system, normally, A hot and a Neutral
But when you fire up the generator,, It transfers the MAIN breaker box to the generator's 30 amp breaker (If properly wired) and one air conditioner to the Genrator's 20 amp breaker.
This sounds like what you are trying to do.
