TS-30 transfer switch failure.

This question is two-fold. My TS-30 transfer switch failed in my 1986 Beaver Marquis and need to know if I can replace it with an ATS-301 switch and if not can I bypass the switch altogether.

Mine failed also, for me the reason was that either they used a 30A transfer switch on a 50 amp system or it was just a bad transfer switch. either way I made them upgrade it to the proper TS-50 and havent had an issue since.

if your trailer is 30 amp and not 50 amp many go power had a bad batch of them but the TS-30 is a good quality and rumor is they are actualy progressive dynamics. I would stick with the go power over paralax, here it is cheeper and gets better reviews on amazon.

Can’t say I’m too familiar with the switch monikers that you site (other than the 30a part), but by bypassing the ATS switch you might run the risk of a short circuit or fire if inadvertently attempting two competing power sources (shore and genny) simultaneously…FWIW, ATS switches typically have inputs for two power sources (and one output to the main panel), and are designed to keep the two sources sequestered…
