New Problem

I don't know what rig you have but when I first bought mine the transfer box smelled burnt. Found out the wire screws were loose so I went out and bought a new transfer box. Was a good thing too, because some the lugs were almost burnt or melted in half and could have caused a fire. R

I'm a retired Coast Guard Chief Electrician. A melted wire nut is usually caused by it being loose. A loose connection will generate a lot of heat. I suggest cutting back the burnt wires and reconnect them with a new wire nut. If you have a clamp on amp meter, check your amp draw on both hot leads.

Well sorry didn't know this even was posted as couldn't get pictures to work so gave up but anyway I found a wire nut melted in the power cord junction box that goes from the generator to the transfer switch . I haven't been able to start my generator as it was sounding like it dragging so have been looking into getting help from people on this forum who have changed there starter themselves and in that process I noticed the junction box had a little burn on it . Tomorrow I will look at the transfer switch and see if there are any problems with it.
